In the reaction CuO(s) + CO2(g) → CuCO3(s), a. CO2 is the Lewis acid and CuCO3 is its conjugate base. b. O2– acts as a Lewis bas
1 answer:
<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option d.
<u>Explanation:</u>
According to Lewis acid-base concept:
The substance which is donating electron pair is considered as Lewis base and the substance which is accepting electron pair is considered as Lewis acid.
For the given chemical reaction:
is accepting electron pair and is getting converted to
. Thus, it is considered as Lewis acid.
present in CuO is a Lewis base because it is donating electron pair.
Thus, the correct answer is Option d.

In this question we need to find the new volume of the gas. Since we have been given the pressure and temperature change, we can used to combined gas law equation.
the parameters for 1st instance are given on the left side and parameters for the second instance are given on the right side of the equation
(319 mmHg x 0.558 L)/ 115 K = (215 mmHg x V)/387 K
V = 2.79 L

Answer : The number of bonding electrons and the number of non-bonding electrons are (4, 18).
Explanation :
The number of bonding electrons and non-bonding electrons in the structure of is determined by the Lewis-dot structure.
Lewis-dot structure : It tell us about the number of valence electrons of an atom within a molecule and it is also shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and the lone-pair of electrons.
In the given structure, 'Xe' is the central atom and 'F' is the terminal atom.
Xenon has 8 valence electrons and fluorine has 7 valence electrons.
Total number of valence electrons in = 8 + 2(7) = 22 electrons
From the Lewis-dot structure, we conclude that
The number of electrons used in bonding = 4
The number of electrons used in non-bonding (lone-pairs) = 22 - 4 = 18
Therefore, the number of bonding electrons and the number of non-bonding electrons are (4, 18).
The Lewis-dot structure of is shown below.
The graph is not given in the question, so, the required graph is attached below:
Answer:
According to the graph, the relationship between the density of the sugar solution and the concentration of the sugar solution is directly proportional to each other as they both are increasing exponentially.
The graph shows that, the density of sugar solution will increase with the increase in concentration of sugar in the solution.
