Answer: 1. [tex]H^++OH^-\rightarrow H_2O[/tex] Lewis acid : [tex]H^+[/tex], Lewis base : [tex]OH^-[/tex]
2. [tex]Cl^-+BCl_3\rightarrow BCl_4^-[/tex] Lewis acid : [tex]BCl_3[/tex], Lewis base : [tex]Cl^-[/tex]
3. [tex]K^++6H_2O\rightarrow K(H_2O)_6[/tex] Lewis acid : [tex]K^+[/tex], Lewis base : [tex]H_2O[/tex]
Explanation:
According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.
1. [tex]H^++OH^-\rightarrow H_2O[/tex]
As [tex]H^+[/tex] gained electrons to complete its octet. Thus it acts as lewis acid.[tex]OH^-[/tex] acts as lewis base as it donates lone pair of electrons to electron deficient specie [tex]H^+[/tex].
2. [tex]Cl^-+BCl_3\rightarrow BCl_4^-[/tex]
As [tex]BCl_3[/tex] is short of two electrons to complete its octet. Thus it acts as lewis acid. [tex]Cl^-[/tex] acts as lewis base as it donates lone pair of electrons to electron deficient specie [tex]BCl_3[/tex].
3. [tex]K^++6H_2O\rightarrow K(H_2O)_6[/tex]
As [tex]K^+[/tex] is short of electrons to complete its octet. Thus it acts as lewis acid. [tex]H_2O[/tex] acts as lewis base as it donates lone pair of electrons to electron deficient specie [tex]K^+[/tex].
