Answer : The correct option is, (A) $NO_2$

Explanation :

Ionic bond : It is defined as the bond which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

The ionic compound is formed between a metal and a non-metal.

Covalent bond : It is defined as the bond that is formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms.

The covalent compound is formed between two non-metals.

(a) $NO_2$

It is a covalent compound in which nitrogen and oxygen are non-metals. The $NO_2$ is formed when one nitrogen atom share their electrons with two oxygen atoms.

(b) $LiCl$

It is an ionic compound in which lithium is a metal and chlorine is a non-metal. The $LiCl$ is formed by the complete transfer of electrons.

(c) $AlCl_3$

It is an ionic compound in which aluminum is a metal and chlorine is a non-metal. The $AlCl_3$ is formed by the complete transfer of electrons.

(d) $Na_2S$

It is an ionic compound in which sodium is a metal and sulfur is a non-metal. The $Na_2S$ is formed by the complete transfer of electrons.

Hence, the covalent compound is $NO_2$

OLga [1]

Answer:

The volume you need to transfer from the stock solution is 0.145 l

Explanation:

Since the number of moles of lactose in the volume of stock solution that you transfer will be the same as the number of moles of lactose in the final solution, you can use this expression:

number of moles in volume to transfer = number of moles in the final solution

Since number of moles = concentration * volume (if the concentration is expressed in molarity), then:

Ci * Vi = Cf * Vf

where:

Ci = concentration of the stock solution.

Vi = volume of the stock solution to be transferred.

Cf = concentration of the final solution

Vf = volume of the final solution

Then, replacing with the data:

518 mM * Vi = 16.7 mM * 4.5 l

Vi = 16.7 mM * 4.5 l / 518 mM

Notice that any concentration unit can be used, as long as the units of the concentration of the stock and final solution are the same.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Using the formula

°C = (F-32) × 5/9

Where;

°C = temperature in degrees centigrade

F= temperature in Fahrenheit

F= (9/5 ×°C) +32

F= (9/5 × 110) + 32

F= 230°F

To convert -78°C to Kelvin

-78°C + 273 = 195 K

Lynna [10]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Correct Option-A (Ability to burn skin)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

When skin tissues are exposed to Acids or Bases a chemical burn occurs as both of these substances are corrosive in nature. These burns occur without providing any heat, results from a very fast reaction, are extremely painful and causes damage to structures present under skin.

Option-B is incorrect because Acids taste sour, while, Bases taste bitter.

Option-C is incorrect because pH of Acids is less than 7 while, pH of Bases is greater than 7.
