C. "A" mentions that the drug killed all of the bacteria that are resistant to the drug, and that doesn't make any sense. "B" claims that all bacteria are resistant to the drug. This is not true. "D" mentions that bacteria eat the drug, which doesn't happen.

Below are the choices that can be found elsewhere:

a) 7.05 M 
<span>b) 3.78×10^−2 M </span>
<span>c)1.84×10^−3 M </span>
<span>d)0.0313 M </span>
<span>e)1.84 M
</span>
Below is the answer:

mol = mass/m.wt = 3.75/17.03 = 0.22 mol 
<span>Molarity = mol / Volume(L) = 0.22/120.0 = 1.84 * 10^-3 </span>
<span>c)1.84×10^−3 M</span>

According to your textbook, how many of the following are properties of covalent compounds:
Ronch [10]

Answer:

a, b and d are correct.

Explanation:

There are two types of attractive forces in covalent compounds:

  • The force that holds the atoms together in a molecule (the covalent bond).
  • The force that <u>operates between molecules</u>, called an intermolecular force.

Because intermolecular forces are usually quite weak compared with the forces holding atoms together within a molecule, <u>molecules of a covalent compound are not held together tightly</u>. Consequently, covalent compounds are usually gases, liquids, or low-melting solids.

Most covalent compounds aqueous solutions generally do not conduct electricity, because the compounds are nonelectrolytes.
