What is the acid and what is the base in the reaction HBr H2O - Br- H2O?
acid is hbr and the base is h2o
Is Br a Lewis acid or Lewis base?
Br- is a Lewis base.
Is SF6 a Lewis acid or base?
Sf6 acts as an lewis acid............
What is the difference between acid and Lewis acid?
An acid is the old term used back in the day to categorize that would release a free positively charged hydrogen atom when dissolved in water. A Lewis acid is a substance that will except an electron pair from a Lewis base, not limited to h2o as the solvent. Though every substance that fit the original definition of an acid is also a Lewis acid, not every Lewis acid is a traditional acid, like AlCl3 and BF3.
What is the conjugate acid for base H2O?
Its conjugate acid is H3O+
What is the acid and what is the base in the reaction HBr H2O - Br- H2O?
acid is hbr and the base is h2o
Is Br a Lewis acid or Lewis base?
Br- is a Lewis base.
Does A base is a compound that produces OH ions in solution?
There are Bronsted-Lowry bases and Lewis bases... Brønsted bases accept protons (H+) and Lewis bases donate electrons... So something like H2O + H2O--> H3O (hydronium) + -OH would mean that H2O is a Bronsted base and acid. You have to look at it in context.

Is calcium oxide is a Lewis acid or Lewis base?
Lewis Base Guillermo Correa
Why pcl3 is a Lewis base and pcl5 is a Lewis acid?
It is a Lewis base:PCl3 has a lone electron pair in the highest occupied molecular orbital available for donation.( Note: PCl5 is a Lewis acid!)
What is the conjugate acid for base H2O?
Its conjugate acid is H3O+
Is Cl a Lewis acid or Lewis base?
Neither, it's a salt.
What is a Lewis base acid?
Lewis acid is an electron acceptor / Lewis base is an electron donor. It is helpful to use this definition of acid and base in (1) organic chemistry (2) also when there are no Hydrogens present in the molecule. BF3 is a Lewis acid it seeks out and can accept electrons.
What is the conjugate acid for base OH?
H2o
PMe3 Lewis acid or base?
PMe3 is a Lewis base(elctron donor).
