Question

Classify the following as Arrhenius, Brønsted-Lowry, or Lewis acid-base reactions. A reaction may fit all, two, one, or none of the categories: (a) Ag$^+$ + 2NH$_3$ $\rightleftharpoons$ Ag(NH$_3$)$_2$$^+$ (b) H$_2$SO$_4$ + NH$_3$ $\rightleftharpoons$ HSO$_4$$^-$ + NH$_4$$^+$ (c) 2HCl $\rightleftharpoons$ H$_2$ + Cl$_2$ Classify the following as Arrhenius, Brønsted-Lowry, or Lewis acid-base reactions. A reaction may fit all, two, one, or none of the categories: (a) Ag$^+$ + 2NH$_3$ $\rightleftharpoons$ Ag(NH$_3$)$_2$$^+$ (b) H$_2$SO$_4$ + NH$_3$ $\rightleftharpoons$ HSO$_4$$^-$ + NH$_4$$^+$ (c) 2HCl $\rightleftharpoons$ H$_2$ + Cl$_2$ Show more…

Step 1

The Ag+ ion acts as a Lewis acid because it accepts a pair of electrons from the NH3 molecule, which acts as a Lewis base. Show more…

Classify the following as Arrhenius, Brønsted-Lowry, or Lewis acid-base reactions. A reaction may fit all, two, one, or none of the categories. a. Ag+ + 2NH3 -> Ag(NH3)2+ b. H2SO4 + NH3 -> HSO4- + NH4+ c. 2HCl -> H2 + Cl2 d. AlCl3 + Cl- -> AlCl4-

Classify the following as Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, or Lewis acid-base reactions. A reaction may fit all, two, one, or none of the categories: (a) $\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}+4 \mathrm{Cl}^{-} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{CuCl}_{4}^{2-}$ (b) Al(OH) $_{3}+3 \mathrm{HNO}_{3} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Al}^{3+}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+3 \mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}$ (c) $\mathrm{N}_{2}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NH}_{3}$ (d) $\mathrm{CN}^{-}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{HCN}+\mathrm{OH}^{-}$

For each of these reactions, identify the acid and base among the reactants, and state if the acids and bases are Lewis, Arrhenius, and/or Brønsted-Lowry: (a) $\mathrm{PCl}_{4}^{+}+\mathrm{Cl}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{PCl}_{5}$ (b) $\mathrm{NH}_{3}+\mathrm{BF}_{3} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{NBF}_{3}$ (c) $\left[\mathrm{Al}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right]^{3+}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow\left[\mathrm{Al}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{5} \mathrm{OH}\right]^{2+}+\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}$

Transcript

00:01 We know that in the first reaction, ag plus 2, ag plus reacts with 2 of ns3 to give ag, nh3 the whole twice. 00:18 Here we can say that ns3 is the electron donor and ag is electron acceptor. 00:30 Therefore, we can say that this is the loose acid and n .h3 is a loose base. 00:50 The second reaction is given as h2s of 4 reacts with ns3 to give hs .s .o 4 minus ion and nh4 plus ion. 01:07 Here we can say that it is an h plus donor, it is an h plus or we can say proton donor and ns3 accept the electron therefore we can say that it is a proton acceptor. 01:30 Therefore we can say that h2o4 is bronzed acid is a bronzed acid and it is an bronzed acid and it is an bronzed base...
