All the following act as a Lewis acid in water except
   NO2
   Li2O
   BCl3
   Pb4+

At what molarity will 0.100 M Ca2+ begin to precipitate out of a solution of Na2CO3?(Ksp of CaCO3=4.5x10-9)
   4.5x10-9M Na2CO3
   4.5x10-8M Na2CO3
   2.0x10-17M Na2CO3
   2.6x10-9M Na2CO

Answer #1

1. Any species which can donate a lone pair of electrons is a lewis acid.

NO2 can donate a lone pair because it has several lone pairs on the oxygen atoms.

Li2O also has 2 lone pairs on the oxygen atom.

BCl3 also has a total of 9 lone pairs on 3 Cl atoms.

Pb4+ has no lone pairs and hence can't work as a lewis acid.

So, the correct answer is Pb4+.

Please post each question separately.
