The fluoride ion donates its lone pair to form a bond, making this a Lewis acid-base interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>BrF4 (in BrF3 solution) + K+ (in BcF3 solution)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Theory:<\/strong> Lewis Acid-Base<br><strong>Explanation:<\/strong> BrF4 is a Lewis acid because it can accept electrons from the fluoride ion in BrF3, which is a Lewis base. Similarly, K+ is a Lewis acid because it can accept electron pairs from the solvent molecules or other electron donors. This reaction showcases electron pair donation and acceptance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Na2O (s) + SiO2 (s)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Theory:<\/strong> Lewis Acid-Base<br><strong>Explanation:<\/strong> This reaction involves the formation of Na2SiO3, where Na2O (which acts as a Lewis base) donates electron pairs to SiO2 (which acts as a Lewis acid). The SiO2 molecule has a central silicon atom that can accept electron pairs, thus forming a bond with the oxygen from Na2O.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Na2SiO3 (s)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Theory:<\/strong> Lewis Acid-Base<br><strong>Explanation:<\/strong> Na2SiO3, or sodium metasilicate, contains the SiO3\u00b2\u207b ion, which can act as a Lewis base, donating electron pairs. In reactions, it can act as a Lewis base when interacting with other Lewis acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>PtCl4 (solution) + APH3 (solution)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Theory:<\/strong> Lewis Acid-Base<br><strong>Explanation:<\/strong> In this reaction, PtCl4 is a Lewis acid because the platinum (Pt) ion can accept electron pairs from the phosphorus in APH3 (where APH3 is a Lewis base). The phosphorus atom donates a lone pair of electrons to the platinum ion, facilitating the formation of a new complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. <strong>[PA(PH3)2]+ (solution)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Theory:<\/strong> Lewis Acid-Base<br><strong>Explanation:<\/strong> The complex [PA(PH3)2]+ contains the PA ion (phosphorus atom), which can act as a Lewis acid because it accepts electron pairs from the PH3 ligands, which are acting as Lewis bases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. <strong>2Na (s) + H2O (l)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Theory:<\/strong> Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry Acid-Base<br><strong>Explanation:<\/strong> In this reaction, sodium metal (Na) reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas. Sodium metal donates an electron (acting as a Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry base) to the hydrogen ion (H+) in water, which acts as a Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry acid. The hydroxide ion (OH-) is formed in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. <strong>2Na+ (aq) + 2OH- (aq) + H2 (g)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Theory:<\/strong> Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry Acid-Base<br><strong>Explanation:<\/strong> In this reaction, Na+ and OH- are the products from the reaction of Na with water. The Na+ ions can accept a lone pair from water molecules, and the OH- ion can act as a Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry base by accepting a proton (H+). The resulting hydrogen gas (H2) shows the production of a Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry acid (H+ from H2O) and base (OH-).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, these reactions primarily illustrate interactions between acids and bases from the <strong>Lewis acid-base<\/strong> and <strong>Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry acid-base<\/strong> perspectives. Lewis acid-base theory focuses on electron pair donation and acceptance, while Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry theory emphasizes proton transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/learnexams-banner8-40.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-240805\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Match each equation with the acid-base definition that best describes how the reaction can be viewed as involving acids and bases 1.
