AP EAMCET2012ChemistryIonic Equilibrium
Which one of the following statements is not correct?
Options
- AThe pH of 1.0 10⁻⁸ M HCl is less than 7
- BThe ionic product of water at 25^ C is 1.0 10⁻¹⁴ ~mol ^2 ~L ⁻²
- CCl ⁻ is a Lewis acid
- DBronsted Lowry theory cannot explain the acidic character of AlCl ₃
Correct answer
C. Cl ⁻ is a Lewis acid
Step-by-step solution
Cl ⁻ is a Lewis base, not a Lewis acid as its octet is complete and it have a tendency to give electrons.
