Re: lewis acid/base
I do not know the answer to this but I am just letting you know that we have not covered this in lecture yet and it will not be on the midterm.

Re: lewis acid/base
So we know that a Lewis base is an electron donor and a Lewis acid is a lone pair acceptor. So in most cases, you can just look at it this way:
The cation will be the Lewis acid. The anion will be the Lewis base.
Ex. OH- + H+ -> H20
OH- is the Lewis base
H+ is the Lewis acid
The cation will be the Lewis acid. The anion will be the Lewis base.
Ex. OH- + H+ -> H20
OH- is the Lewis base
H+ is the Lewis acid
