Observe the following species (i) \(\mathrm{NH}_3\) (ii) \(\mathrm{AlCl}_3\) (iii) \(\mathrm{SnCl}_4\) (iv) \(\mathrm{CO}_2\) (v) \(\mathrm{Ag}^{+}\) (vi) \(\mathrm{HSO}_4^{-}\)
How many of the above species act as Lewis acids?

  1. A 5
  2. B 3
  3. C 4
  4. D 2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{O}=\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O}\) electron deficiency due to attraction of more electronegative atom oxygen. \(\mathrm{AlCl}_3\) electron deficient Al \(\mathrm{Ag}^{+}\)electron deficient \(\mathrm{SnCl}_4\), Sn electron deficient Thus 4 species act as Lewis acid.
