Arsenic trichloride can act both as a Lewis acid and as a Lewis
base. Explain why this is so and write a balanced equation for each
using BF3 and Cl− as reaction partners.
1,Write the balanced equation with AsCl3 acting as Lewis
base.
2,Write the balanced equation with AsCl3 acting as Lewis acid.
As belongs to 15 group of periodic table and has 5 valence electronsin 4th shell.
Then As Cl3 is formed it uses 3 electrons for bond formation , still has 2 electrons as lone pair and vacant 4d orbitals .
Thus when As donates the lone pair to other substances, it behaves as Lewis base and
it As accepts a pair of electrons from other substances into vacant 4d orbitals , it behaves as a Lewis acid.
:AsCl3 + BF3 ----------> Cl3As--> BF3 Lewis base
AsCL3 + Cl- ------------> AsCl4- Lewis acid

Equilibrium constants can be measured for the dissociation of Lewis acid-base complexes such as the dimethyl ether complex of BF3, (CH3)20+BF3. The value of K (here Kp) for the reaction is 0.17 at 125 °C. (CH3)20+BF3(g) =BF3(g) + (CH3)20(g) Is BF3 a Lewis acid or a Lewis base? Lewis acid Lewis base Correct A Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. B has an incomplete octet in BF3 and, as an electron deficient species, is an electron pair acceptor in...
