Interpretation:
Concept Introduction:
An acid serves to accept an electron-pair from another electron-rich species while a base donates electrons to another electron-deficient species in the reaction in accordance with Lewis's definition. For instance of Lewis acids that have electron-deficient central atom

- In the following net ionic reaction, identify each species as either a Brnsted-Lowry acid or a Brnsted -Lowry base: CH3COO(aq)+HS(aq)CH3COOH(aq)+S2(aq). Identify the conjugate of each reactant and state whether it is a conjugate acid or a conjugate base.arrow_forwardHydrazine, 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_forwardNatural gas frequently contains hydrogen sulfide, H2S. H2S is removed from natural gas by passing it through aqueous ethanolamine, HOCH2CH2NH2 (an ammonia derivative), which reacts with the hydrogen sulfide. Write the equation for the reaction. Identify each reactant as either a Lewis acid or a Lewis base. Explain how you arrived at your answer.arrow_forward
