Solutions

Expert Solution

According to the definition of Lewis acid, an ion / metal centre / compound which can accept the election pair from an electron donating substance, that is known as Lewis acid. Simply Lewis acid is electron acceptor.

Now in the above example, Fe 3+ acts as Lewis acid, because it is electron deficient metal centre. H + is also a Lewis acid, and it also comes into the class of Bronsted acid.
