Answer:

The correct answer is "covalent bonds".

Explanation:

A covalent coordinated or dative bond is formed when two atoms are linked together, sharing a pair of electrons. But only one of these atoms is the one that brings the pair of shared electrons. For this type of bond to occur, it is required that the donor atom has a pair of free electrons in an outer orbital and the acceptor atom has the capacity to receive that pair of electrons in its last valence layer.

On the other hand, a Lewis base is a substance that can share or donate a pair of electrons, because they have a pair of solitary electrons. A  Lewis acid is that substance that accepts or takes a pair of electrons because they have their last electron layer incomplete.  

It is then possible to say that an Lewis acid-base reaction is formed by the Lewis acid and base joined by a coordinated covalent bond.

So, <u><em>the correct answer is "covalent bonds".</em></u>

The correct option is COVALENT BONDS.

A Lewis acid is defined as a substance which accept a pair of electron while a Lewis base refers to a substance that donate an unshared pair of electrons to another chemical specie with which it shared the donated pair of electrons.

Lewis acid and Lewis base react together to form salt and water. This type of reaction is called neutralization reaction. The neutralization reaction of Lewis acid and Lewis base involves electron pairs transfer, thus, there is an increase in the number of covalent bonds during this reaction.

The movement of fluid materials caused by density differences
Dovator [93]
This movement is known as convection or convection currents. This occurs due to the fact that warmer fluid is of lower density than colder fluid. This causes warmer fluid to rise and colder fluid to sink. This creates circulatory currents within the body of the fluid.

4. Juan tiene un cilindro de 40 libras herméticamente cerrado con gas propano y lo conecta mediante una válvula a otro cilindro
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Ver explicacion

Explanation:

Cuando el cilindro de 40 libras está conectado al cilindro de 100 libras, generamos una presión que continúa hasta que los dos cilindros alcanzan la misma presión de gas en equilibrio. Recuerde que el cilindro de 100 libras estaba inicialmente vacío. Esto significa que su presión inicial es 0. El cilindro de 40 libras ya estaba lleno, por lo que dividimos esta cantidad en dos para tener en cuenta su distribución entre los dos cilindros.

Ahora tenemos 20 libras de gas propano presentes en cada cilindro. La implicación de esto es que, en el cilindro de 100 libras, necesitamos 80 libras adicionales para completar las 100 libras.
