1.) In the reaction CaO(s) + SO2(g) --------> CaSO3(s),
Which is correct:
O2- acts as a Lewis base, and SO2 acts as a Lewis acid.
Ca2+ acts as a Lewis base, and SO42- acts as a Lewis acid.
SO42- acts as a Lewis base, and SO2 acts as a Lewis acid.

SO2 acts as a Lewis base, and Ca2+ acts as a Lewis acid.
A compound that has an unshared electron pair on the central atom is a Lewis base. It reacts by making available an electron pair that can be shared by other species. In other words, a base is any species that can make available or donate a share in an electron pair, while an acid is a species that can accept a share in an electron pair.
In this reaction, Ca+2 is a spectator ion. Notice, we can remove it since it doesn't change in oxidation state at all. Now, we've got this:
O-2 + SO2 --------> SO3-2
This looks simpler, and should help us figure out what's going on. Clearly, the O-2 is donating its extra electron pair to SO2 forming SO3-2. Therefore, O2- acts as the Lewis base, and SO2 acts as the Lewis acid. ...
