Lewis acids are those species which can accept a lone pair of electrons.
BF3 (g) + F1- (g) = BF41- (g)
In the given reaction, BF3 (g) acts as a Lewis acid. It has vacant p-orbitals on B-atom. So it can accept a lone pair of electrons from F1-. Here F1- is Lewis base.
Therefore, the correct option is----
C. BF3 (g)

Equilibrium constants can be measured for the dissociation of Lewis acid-base complexes such as the dimethyl ether complex of BF3, (CH3)20+BF3. The value of K (here Kp) for the reaction is 0.17 at 125 °C. (CH3)20+BF3(g) =BF3(g) + (CH3)20(g) Is BF3 a Lewis acid or a Lewis base? Lewis acid Lewis base Correct A Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. B has an incomplete octet in BF3 and, as an electron deficient species, is an electron pair acceptor in...
