Answer:
c. it involves a series of steps, each of which generates a reactive intermediate that brings about the next step
Explanation:
A chain reaction consist of many repeating steps. Chain reaction will never stop until all the reactant has been exhausted. It is more of a cycle of reaction that generate a reactive intermediate that brings about the next step.
Example of a chain reaction is the chlorination of methane.
CH4 + Cl2 ↔ CH3Cl + HCl
CH3Cl + Cl2 ↔ CH2Cl2 + HCl
CH2Cl2 + Cl2 ↔ CHCl3 + HCl
CHCl3 + Cl2 ↔ CCl4 + HCl
It's B Covalent.Now I'll add more words since the thing says I need to write at least 20 characters.
The balanced equation for the neutralisation reaction is as follows
2H₃PO₄ + 3Mg(OH)₂ --> Mg₃(PO₄)₂ + 6H₂O
stoichiometry of H₃PO₄ to H₂O is 2:6
number of H₃PO₄ moles reacted - 0.24 mol
if 2 mol of H₃PO₄ form 6 mol of H₂O
then 0.24 mol of H₃PO₄ forms - 6/2 x 0.24 = 0.72 mol of H₂O
therefore 0.72 mol of H₂O are formed
