(i)Give Lewis’ definition for acids and bases.
(ii) The solubility of Ag2CrO4 at 25°C is 8.0 x 10-5 moles /litre. Calculate its solubility product.
i) Lewis acid: A compound or an ionic species which can accept a pair of electron known as lewis acid.
Lewis base: A compound or an ionic species which can donate a pair of electron known as lewis base.
ii) Ag2CrO4 ⇌ 2Ag+ + CrO42‒
S 2s s
Ksp = [Ag+ ]2 [CrO42‒] = (2s)2 (s)
= 4s3 = 4 x (8 x 10‒5 )3 = 2.048 x 10‒12
