<h2>Answer:</h2>

Combustion stroke is the step at which four-stroke engine cycle sparks plug initiate the combustion reaction.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Combustion or ignition is known as the burning of fuel in the presence of air.
Combustion stroke is the third stroke in four-stroke engine .
In this stroke the compressed air-fuel mixture is sparked by a spark plug (in a gasoline engine) and by heat generated by high compression (diesel engines).

ANSWER
Power stroke

EXPLANATION

At the power stroke stage, the piston is forced to move down by the expanding gases as both intake valve and exhaust valve are closed.
A spark from the spark plug contributes to ignition of the compressed fuel air mixture to released energy to perform work.

Predict whether each of the following bonds is ionic, polar, covalent, or nonpolar covalent:

Gekata [30.6K]

Explanation:

It is known that in order to determine a compound to be ionic, polar, covalent or non-polar covalent it is necessary to determine the electronegativity difference of the combining atoms.

So, when electronegativity difference is from 0.0 to 0.4 then bond formed between the two atoms is non-polar covalent in nature.

When electronegativity difference is greater than 0.4 and less than 1.8 then bond between the two atoms is a polar covalent bond.

When electronegativity difference is 1.8 or greater than the bond formed is ionic in nature.

Electronegativity difference of the given molecules is as follows.

Si-O = (1.90 - 3.44) = 1.54

K-Cl = (0.82 - 3.16) = 2.34

S-F = (2.58 - 3.98) = 1.4

P-Br = (2.19 - 2.96) = 0.77

Li-O = (0.98 - 3.44) = 2.46

N-P = (3.04 - 2.19) = 0.85

Therefore, given compounds are classified as follows.

Si-O, S-F, P-Br, and N-P all have a polar covalent bond. Whereas K-Cl and Li-O are ionic in nature.

A 76.0-gram piece of metal at 96.0 °C is placed in 120.0 g of water in a calorimeter at 24.5 °C. The final temperature in the ca

anygoal [31]

Answer:

S(metal) = 0.66J/g°C

Explanation:

We can find specific heat of a material, S, using the equation:

q = m*S*ΔT

<em>Where q is change in heat, m is the mass of the substance, S specific heat and ΔT change in temperature.</em>

The heat given by the metal is equal to the heat that water absorbs, that is:

m(Metal)*S(metal)*ΔT(Metal) = m(Water)*S(water)*ΔT(water)

<em>Where:</em>

m(Metal) = 76.0g

S(metal) = ?

ΔT(Metal) = 96.0°C-31.0°C = 65.0°C

m(Water) = 120.0g

S(water) = 4.184J/g°C

ΔT(water) = 31.0°C-24.5°C = 6.5°C

Replacing:

76.0g*S(metal)*65.0°C = 120.0g*4.184J/g°C*6.5°C

S(metal) = 0.66J/g°C

<em />

The law of conservation applies because the energy is not been created or destroyed. The energy that the metal gives is absorbed by the water.

Why is a solution not a pure substance

Firlakuza [10]

It is not a pure substance, because a solution are mixed chemicals in a way that the molecules are not bonded with one another. Thus, separating them from compounds and elements, which are pure substances.

Which of the following occurs when a covalent bond forms? Which of the following occurs when a covalent bond forms? Partial char

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is defined as the bond which occurs due to sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

Generally, a covalent bond is formed between non-metals.

For example, both nitrogen and oxygen atoms are non-metals and they combine covalently to form $NO_{2}$ compound.

As nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and an oxygen atom has 6 valence electrons. So, there occurs unequal sharing of electrons between the two.

Thus, we can conclude that when a covalent bond forms then electrons in valence shells are shared between atoms.
