Which of the following is not a Lewis acid?

Which of the following is not a Lewis acid? Correct Answer hydroxide ion

Lewis acids are molecules with an incomplete octet of central atoms like aluminium chloride, simple cations like sodium ion, and molecules in which the central atom has vacant d-orbital like sulphur tetrafluoride, but hydroxide ion is a negatively charged species. So it is not a Lewis acid.

In a batch process, the reaction takes place in the presence of an acid medium. The acid is drained from the reaction vessel at the rate of 15ml/s as a result of the density difference of the acid from the reacting component. To avoid wastage of acid, it is recycled to an acid tank which has 1000 L capacity. The acid drained from the reaction vessel, picks up 50 g/L solids from the reactor. Acid is fed once again to the process from acid tank. When the process is started, the acid is almost pure in the tank as a result of filtration. As the reaction proceeds, acid in the tank gets more and more contaminated with the solids. The concentration of the solids should not exceed 100 g/L from the process point of view. The batch time is 16h. Estimate whether the concentration of the solids will exceed 100g/L during the batch reaction.
