    This document contains a chemistry problem involving identifying Lewis acids and bases in 4 reactions. In reaction a, ethanol is the Lewis base that donates an electron pair to the Lewis acid carbonic acid. In reaction b, the bromoalkane is the Lewis acid that accepts an electron pair from the methoxide ion Lewis base. Reaction c shows the chloroalkane as the Lewis acid accepting an electron pair from the amide ion Lewis base. And in reaction d, boron trifluoride acts as the Lewis acid accepting an electron pair from the chlorate ion Lewis base.

    Student Name:

    #5 Lewis Acid and Lewis Base

    1. For each of the following reactions, draw the Lewis dot structure for each
    reactant and product. Identify each reactant as a Lewis acid or a Lewis base.

    a. CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH + CF3COOH CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH2+ + CF3COO-

    b. CH3CH2CH2CH2Br + CH3O- CH3CH2CH2CH2OCH3 + Br-


    (the O is between the last 2 C)

    c. CH3CHClCH2CH3 + NH2- CH3CHCHCH3 + NH3 + Cl-


    (for this problem only consider the new bond between N and H)

    d. BF3 + OCl- BF3OCl
