Which of the following statements are true for the reactions that precede them.?

Question

NOTE: Read the equations left to right


a) H2PO4− + H2O ↔ HPO42− + H3O(+) H2PO4- is the Lewis acid

b) HClO4 + H2O - → H3O(+) + ClO4− HClO4 is the Lewis base

c) H2PO4− + H2PO4− ↔ H3PO4 + HPO42− H2PO4- is both the Lewis base and the Lewis acid

d) HCl + H2O - → H3O(+) + Cl− Water is the Lewis base

e) Fe(H2O)6(3+) + H2O ↔ Fe(H2O)5(OH)(2+) + H3O(+) Fe(H2O)63+ is the Lewis acid

Neither of these answers worked but i appreciate the effort. i figured it out the correct answer turned out to be acde

Answer 1

By Lewis definition, an acid is an electron pair acceptor and a base is an electron pair donor.

C, D & E

Answer 2

c d and e
