JEE Main & Advanced Chemistry Equilibrium / साम्यावस्था Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Equilibrium

  • question_answer
    Which equilibrium can be described as an acid- base reaction using the Lewis acid-base definition but not using the Bronsted-Lowry definition?

    A) \[2N{{H}_{3}}+{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\rightleftharpoons 2N{{H}_{4}}^{+}+S{{O}_{4}}^{2-}\]

    B) \[N{{H}_{3}}+C{{H}_{3}}COOH\rightleftharpoons N{{H}_{4}}^{+}+C{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}\]

    C) \[{{H}_{2}}O+C{{H}_{3}}COOH\rightleftharpoons {{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}+C{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}\]

    D) \[{{[Cu{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{4}}]}^{2+}}+4N{{H}_{3}}\rightleftharpoons {{[Cu{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{4}}]}^{2+}}+4{{H}_{2}}O\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[{{[Cu{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{4}}]}^{2+}}+4N{{H}_{3}}\rightleftharpoons {{[Cu{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{4}}]}^{2+}}+4{{H}_{2}}O\] involves lose and gain of electrons. \[{{H}_{2}}O\]is coordinated to Cu by donating electrons (LHS). It is then removed by withdrawing electrons.
