A Lewis acid-base reaction occurs when a base donates a pair of electrons to an acid. ... A Brønsted-Lowry acid such as HCl is an acid-base adduct according to the Lewis concept, and proton transfer occurs because a more stable acid-base adduct is formed.

Example: Water (H2O) has two nonbonding pairs of electrons, so it donates one pair to the carbocation. As a result, one bond is formed and shared between carbon and oxygen. Water acts as a Lewis base because it is the electron pair donor in this reaction.

If 1,079.75 Joules of heat are added to 77.75 grams of water, by how many degrees Celsius would the water increase? Assume water

djyliett [7]

Answer:

If 1,079.75 Joules of heat are added to 77.75 grams of water, by 3.32 degrees Celsius the temperature of water will increase

$\Delta T=3.32 C^{0}$
