Select all that apply.
Identify the Lewis acid and Lewis base in the reaction.
Co3+(aq) + 6NH3(aq)  ⇌ Co(NH3)63+ (aq)
1, Co3+ is the Lewis acid
2, Co3+ is the Lewis base 
3, NH3 is the Lewis acid
4, NH3 is the Lewis base
♦ Relevant knowledge

A Lewis acid is described by electron-pair acceptor, whereas an Lewis base acts as an electron pair donor. The bond that is formed between two Lewis acid and Lewis base Lewis base forms a covalent bond. Acids that have oxygen bond to the acidic hydrogen are referred to as oxoacids. Oxoacids’ strength grows by increasing the electronegativity of  Z, which happens to be the other atom that is bonded to oxygen.
