Question

Which equilibrium can be described as an acid-base reaction using the Lewis acid-base definition but not using the Bronsted-Lowry definition?

A. \[2N{{H}_{3}}+{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\rightleftharpoons 2NH_{4}^{+}+SO_{4}^{2-}\]
B. \[N{{H}_{3}}+C{{H}_{3}}COOH\rightleftharpoons NH_{4}^{+}+C{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}\]
C. \[{{H}_{2}}O+C{{H}_{3}}COOH\rightleftharpoons {{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}+C{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}\]
D. \[{{\left[ Cu\left( {{H}_{2}}{{O}_{4}} \right) \right]}^{2+}}+4N{{H}_{3}}\rightleftharpoons {{\left[ Cu{{\left( N{{H}_{3}} \right)}_{4}} \right]}^{2+}}+4{{H}_{2}}O\]  
Answer :   \[{{\left[ Cu\left( {{H}_{2}}{{O}_{4}} \right) \right]}^{2+}}+4N{{H}_{3}}\rightleftharpoons {{\left[ Cu{{\left( N{{H}_{3}} \right)}_{4}} \right]}^{2+}}+4{{H}_{2}}O\]
Solution :
$${\left[ {Cu{{\left( {{H_2}O} \right)}_4}} \right]^{2 + }} + 4N{H_3} \rightleftharpoons $$       $${\left[ {Cu{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_4}} \right]^{2 + }} + 4{H_2}O$$      involves lose and gain of electrons. $${H_2}O$$  is coordinated to $$Cu$$  by donating electrons $$(LHS).$$   It is then removed by withdrawing electrons.
