What qualifies sulfuric acid as a lewis acid?
Ellie AdamsSulfuric acid can supply up to 2 H+ ions per molecule, and H+ ions are Lewis Acids.
Any material, like the H+ ion, that is capable of taking in two nonbonding electrons is considered a Lewis acid; in other words, a Lewis acid is an electron-pair acceptor. Similarly, any material, like the OH- ion, that is capable of giving away two nonbonding electrons is considered a Lewis base; in this sense, a Lewis base is an electron-pair donor.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
