The best Lewis acid would CH3COCl. Because of -I effect of chlorine and oxygen, there is substantial positive charge on the carbonyl Carbon. Hence Lewis acid.
BF3 is Lewis acid but BF4- would be Lewis base.
Answer: (b)
The strongest acid would be para-nitrophenol.
Because of the very strong -M /-R and -I effect of -NO2 group. The phenolic hydrogen would be acidic. Nitro group withdraw electron density by resonance when it is attached at ortho or para to -OH group more effectively.
Answer: (a)
The strongest base would be para-aminophenoxide ion.
Due to the +M effect of -NH2 , electron density on benzene ring is increased and hence more basic strength.
Answer: (b)
