Which of the following Lewis acid-base reactions are not Bronsted acid-base reactions ?
a) Ag +(aq) + 2CN -(aq) = Ag(CN)2 -(aq)
b) HNO3(aq) + NaOH --> NaNO3(aq) + H2O(l)
c) Al(OH)3(s) + OH-(aq) --> Al(OH)4-(aq)
d) BF3(g) + (CH3CH2)2O(l) --> (CH3CH2)2OBF3(l)

Lewis acid-base reactions involve donating and accepting non-bonding pairs of electrons, while Bronsted acid-base reactions involve donating and accepting protons. Only B is a Bronsted acid-base reaction, so the other three (A, C and D) are not.

a and c is not bronsted acid base reaction because the product must contain both conjugate acid and its conjugate base but a and c doesn't have the conjugate acid and base.
