(a)
Interpretation:
The electron dot structures for the reactants and the products has to be drawn and using curved arrow, the donation of lone pairs has to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Electron-dot structure: It is a diagram in which dots are placed around the
- Lewis structures are diagrams that represent the
chemical bonding of covalently bonded molecules and coordination compounds. - It is also known as Lewis dot structures which represent the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
- The Lewis structure is based on the concept of the octet rule so that the electrons shared in each atom should have 8 electrons in its outer shell.

Calculate the hydronium-ion concentration in 0.100 M H2SO4, accounting for the ionization of both protons.arrow_forward
- Hydrazine, N2H4 (having the structure H2NNH2), and its derivatives have been used as rocket fuels. Draw the Lewis electron-dot formula for the hydrazine molecule. Describe the geometries expected about the nitrogen atoms in this molecule. Why would you expect hydrazine to be basic? Which substance, NH3 or N2H4, would you expect to be more basic? Why? Write the chemical equation in which hydrazine reacts with hydrochloric acids to form the salt N2H5Cl. Consider the positive ion of this salt. How does its basic character compare with that of NH3 and N2H4? Explain.arrow_forwardBoron trifluoride, BF3, and diethyl ether, (C2H5)2O, react to produce a compound with the formula BF3 : (C2H5)2O. A coordinate covalent bond is formed between the boron atom on BF3 and the oxygen atom on (C2H5)2O. Write the equation for this reaction, using Lewis electron-dot formulas. Label the Lewis acid and the Lewis base. Determine how many grams of BF3: (C2H5)2O are formed when 9.10 g BF3 and 23.3 g (C2H5)2O are placed in a reaction vessel, assuming that the reaction goes to completion.arrow_forwardClassify each of the following acids as monoprotic, diprotic, or triprotic. a. H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) b. HC2H3O2 (acetic acid) c. H2C5H6O4 (glutaric acid) d. HCN (cyanic acid)arrow_forward
