The correct answer is option 4, that is, an ionic compound.  

The mentioned features belong to an ionic compound. The ionic compounds exhibit strong bonds in between their atoms, that is, an ionic bond is the strongest molecular bond, this confirms that ionic compounds exhibit a high melting point.  

The ionic compounds do not transmit current, as they do not possess free electrons, like metals, thus, they are poor conductors as solid. The ionic compounds get dissolve in water and form ions that are the charges, which can move, making them good conductors as a liquid. The composition of the ionic compound is a set of crystals that makes them brittle and hard.

A student neutralized 16.4 milliliters of HCl by adding 12.7 milliliters of 0.620 M KOH. What was the molarity of the HCl acid?
Katen [24]
V ( HCl ) = 16.4 mL / 1000 => 0.0164 L

M( HCl) = ?

V( KOH) = 12.7 mL / 1000 => 0.0127 L

M(KOH) = 0.620 M

Number of moles KOH:

n = M x V

n = 0.620 x 0.0127

n = 0.007874 moles of KOH

number of moles HCl :

<span>HCl + KOH = H2O + KCl
</span>
1 mole HCl ------ 1 mole KOH
<span>? mole HCl--------0.007874 moles KOH
</span>
moles HCl = 0.007874 * 1 / 1

= 0.007874 moles of HCl

M = n / V

M = 0.007874 / <span>0.0164

</span>= 0.480 M

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:
dimaraw [331]
The answer is (4) synthesis. Synthesis reaction means that two or more reactants combine directly to one production. Substitution or single replacement means that one element of a compound is replaced by another element. Double replacement means that two ionic reactants exchange ions to form two new productions.
