1.a) All Bronsted-Lowry acids are Lewis acids but not all Lewis acids are Bronsted-Lowry acids. Explain this statement in not more than two sentences.

b) Identify a base and its conjugate acid from this reaction. Explain your reason in one sentence.

HC2H3O2(aq) + H2O(l) <-->H3O+(aq) + C2H3O2-(aq)

2. 0.75 kg charcoal completely burns with a sufficient supply of air. Nothing other than CO2 is produced. How much N2 gas (in Kg) is expected in the outlet gas stream? Air composition (approx.) = 80% N2 and 20% O2 (mol basis only). 

3. A wild rabbit. Would this creature act as sink or a receptor? Explain within two sentences. Name one environmental pollutant that can affect this structure.
