Base's physical characteristics:
1) Bitter in taste
2) Soapy feeling (in shampoo or body wash)
3) pH>7

Base's chemical characteristics:
1) BASW ( Base reacts with Acid to form Salt and Water)
2) Ability to turn moist red litmus paper blue due to its basic properties. (pH>7)
3) IMPORTANTLY is that it dissociate Into OH- ions or hydroxide ion when dissolved in water! (For alkali)

Average speed of the trip = 52 km/hr

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Distance is the length traveled by an object within a certain of time .

Average speed = total distance/total amount of  time ,

Can be formulated :

\tt S(speed)=\dfrac{D}{T}

Total distance travelled : 1560 km

Total time : 8 hr + 12 hr + 10 hr = 30 hr

\tt avg.speed=\dfrac{tot~D}{tot~T}\\\\avg.speed=\dfrac{1560}{30}\\\\avg.speed=52~km/hr

How might a molecule with two strong bond dipoles have no molecular dipole at all?
Reil [10]
 A molecule with two strong bond dipoles can have no molecular dipole if the bond dipoles cancel each other out by pointing in exactly opposite directions. For example, in carbon dioxide (a linear molecule), the carbon-oxygen bonds have a <span>large dipole moment. However, because one dipole points to the left and the other to the right the dipole is cancelled.</span>
