Question:

For each of the following processes, identify the acids and bases involved and characterize the process as complex formation or acid–base displacement. Identify the species that exhibit Brønsted acidity as well as Lewis acidity.

(a) SO3 + H2O → HSO4 + H+

(b) CH3[B12] + Hg2+ → [B12]+ + CH3Hg+; [B12] designates the Co-porphyrin, vitamin B12

(c) KCl + SnCl2 → K+ + [SnCl3]

(d) AsF3(g) + SbF5(l) → [AsF2]+[SbF6](s)

(e) Ethanol dissolves in pyridine to produce a nonconducting solution.
