Identify each of the following compounds as a Lewis acid, a
Lewis base, or neither. Explain how you are able to make the
identification.
A. Os3+
B. (CH3)3N
C. BF3
D. H2
Classify each of the following as a Lewis acid or a Lewis base. Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins. H-, I-, Fe3+, NO2, SnCl4, CH3OH, (CH3)3N

AlCl3 and BCl3 are strong Lewis Acids. But, CaCl2 is not a Lewis
acid. Explain why. (Hint: Write the reactions of these substances
with H2O and explain).
Of the following molecules, which is the strongest Lewis
Acid?
NH3, NF3, NCl, BH3, BF3, BCl3
Please include an explanation with the answer. I am having a
really hard time figuring this out.
Ive leraned that there are three definitions of Acid and
Base.
Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis.
Why do we learn all these three?
Why can't I just use only one concept?
1.
Explain why base is needed in an acid base extraction to separate
the components of a mixture? Why is acid often added at the end to
obtain the final product?
2. Why does foaming occur when acid is added to a bicarbonate
extraction? Explain with chemical equations
