Question

In the following reaction, identify the Lewis acid: (CH3)3CCl + AlCl3 gives (CH3)3C+ + AlCl-

I have answered Lewis acid is AlCl4 is the Lewis acid as it is accepting the electron pair and(CH3)3CCl is the Lewis base because it is donating the electron pair. Correct?

Also, if both aqueous ethanol reacts with the following aqueous molecules, what are the equations? I'm confused?

CH3CH2OH + CH3NH gives ?

CH3CH2OH + H3PO4 gives ?

Thanks!

Explanation / Answer

Yep..ur answer n reasoning are both correct :) a) CH3CH2OH + CH3NH- ---------------------> CH3CH2O- (acid) + CH3NH2 (base) b) H3PO4 + CH3CH2OH --> H2PO4- + CH3CH2OH2+
