Identify the Lewis Acid and Lewis Base in each reaction. BONUS: draw the correct structures for each reactant, and draw the correct arrows. If you choose to do this, write the words I'm Awesome in the space provided, and draw your structures NEATLY on the last page. (You'll have to look up the structures.) I will completely ignore people who don't use the assigned answer space properly! a) ẞ-hydroxypropionic acid in water: HC3H5O3(aq) + H2O(l) → C3H5O3(aq)¯ + H3O+ (aq) b) B-hydroxypropionate in water: C3H5O3(aq) + H2O(l) → HC3H5O3(aq) + OH¯(aq) c) nickel(II) cyanide reacting with excess KCN to produce potassium tetracyanonickelate: Ni(CN),(aq) + 2 KCN(aq) → K2[Ni(CN)4] Hint: remember what I said about spectator ions.
