Question
1. For each of the following reactions, identify which of the reactants is the acid, and which is the base, and explain which acid-base definition would be most suitable for the reaction. In some cases people might disagree as to which is the "best;" I will accept different answers as long as they are well explained. a. CIF3 + PtF5 > [CIF't [PtF6] (CIF, is a liquid at 0"C, and is the solvent in this case) c. CO2(g)+ Mg.SiO4(s) MgSiOs(s)+MgCOs(s) d. Co2(aq) 6NHs(g)[Co(NH3)2+(aq) f. H2SO(1)+ CH CN(lHSO4(in CH,CN soln) +CH:NH (in CH CN soln) g. CaO+Sio2 >CaSiOs (this could be considered a reaction involved in the making of glass-but glass is by no means pure CaSiO) h. 6NHs(1) + Mn3Mn(NHs)sNH2+(in NHs soln) +NH (in NH, soln) 2. Increasing the rate of reactions like c. has been proposed as a strategy for reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Google the other reactant in the equation to find out what it is and where it might be found.Explanation / Answer
a) ClF3 is lewis base and PtF5 is lewis acid.
b) FeCl3 is lewis acid, it can accept electron pair and Water is lewis base can donate electron pair.
c) CO2 is oxide ion acceptor hence acid and Mg2SiO4 is oxide donor hence base (Lux-Flood concept)
d) Co2+ is lewis acid and NH3 is lewis base.
e) BF3 is lewis acid can accept electron pair and PH3 is lewis base it can donate electon pair.
f) H2SO4 is bronsted acid and CH3CN is bronsted base.
g) CaO is lux- flood base and SiO2 is lux-flood acid
h) NH3 is lewis base and Mn3+ is lewis acid.
