Part A Identify the Lewis acid and Lewis base from among the reactants in each of the following equations. Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. BF3 AlF3 F- NH3 Fe3+ NH3 Fe3+(aq) + 6NH3(aq) ? Fe(NH3)6(aq): [ ] is the Lewis acid and [ ] is the Lewis base. AlF3 + NH3 ? AlF3NH3: [ ] is the Lewis acid and [ ] is the Lewis base. F-(aq) + BF3(aq) ? BF4-(aq): [ ] is the Lewis acid and [ ] is the Lewis base.
