Answer #1

Ans

Option E is the correct answer

CO2 acts as a Lewis acid

Lewis acid accepts an electron pair

Lewis base donates an electron pair

The reaction is

CaO + CO2 = CaCO3

CaO reacts with H2O and forms Ca(OH)2 and acts as a Lewis base.

CO2 reacts with H2O and forms carbonic acid (H2CO3) and acts as a Lewis acid
