Get started for freeWhat does the ionization constant tell us about the strength of an acid?
Which would be considered a stronger Lewis acid: (a) \(\mathrm{BF}_{3}\) or \(\mathrm{BCl}_{3},\) (b) \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\) or \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\) ? Explain.
A \(0.040 M\) solution of a monoprotic acid is 14 percent ionized. Calculate the ionization constant of the acid.
In terms of orbitals and electron arrangements, what must be present for a molecule or an ion to act as a Lewis acid (use \(\mathrm{H}^{+}\) and \(\mathrm{BF}_{3}\) as examples)? What must be present for a molecule or ion to act as a Lewis base (use \(\mathrm{OH}^{-}\) and \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\) as examples)?
Explain what is meant by the strength of an acid.
