Answer:

B) Covalent bonds are typical of carbon compounds.

Explanation:

Covalent bonds -

It is the type of bonding , the electrons are shared between the respective atoms , and thereby stabilizing both the atoms via bond formation .

This type of bonding is also called molecular bonding .

In the field of organic chemistry , covalent bonding is very commonly seen .

Hence , carbon due to its properties of catenation and tetravalency forms very stable and strong covalent bonding with other atoms of carbon and other atoms like , nitrogen , oxygen , chlorine etc .

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A covalent bond is formed when electrons are shared between the atoms. These are formed when two non-metals combine together. They do not dissolve in water and does not allow conduction of electricity.

An ionic bond is formed when complete transfer of electrons takes place from one atom to another atom. Atom which donates electrons is known as electropositive atom and the atom which accepts electrons is known as electronegative atom. These are formed by non-metals and metals. When dissolved in water, it breaks into ions and thus conduct electricity.

Covalent bonds are usually found in carbon compounds.

Thus, the correct answer is Option B.

Write the formula of the conjugate acid of HCO₂⁻.
Alex

Taking into account the Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory, the conjugate acid of HCO₂⁻ is H₂CO₂.

<h3>Brønsted-Lowry acid-base </h3>

The Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory (or the Brønsted-Lowry theory) identifies acids and bases based on whether the species accepts or donates protons or H⁺.

According to this theory, acids are proton donors while bases are proton acceptors. That is, an acid is a species that donates an H⁺ proton while a base is a chemical species that accepts an H⁺ proton from the acid.

So, reactions between acids and bases are H⁺ proton transfer reactions.

<h3>Conjugate base and conjugate acid</h3>

Then, a conjugate base is an ion or molecule resulting from the acid that loses the proton, while a conjugate acid is an ion or molecule resulting from the base that gains the proton:

acid + base ⇄ conjugate base + conjugate acid

<h3>Conjugate acid of HCO₂⁻</h3>

Like a conjugate acid is an ion or molecule resulting from the base that gains the proton, the conjugate acid of HCO₂⁻ is H₂CO₂.

Avoiding an accident when driving can depend on reaction time. That time, measured in seconds from the moment the driver see dan
crimeas [40]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

A normal model is represented as (μ, σ). Therefore for (1.5, 0.18), the mean (μ) = 1.5 and the standard deviation (σ) = 0.18

The z score shows by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given as:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) For x < 1.35 s

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{1.35-1.5}{0.18}=-0.83

From the normal distribution table, the percent of drivers have a reaction time less than 1.35 seconds = P(x < 1.35) = P(z < -0.83) = 0.2033 = 20.33%

b) For x > 1.9 s

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{1.9-1.5}{0.18}=2.22

From the normal distribution table, the percent of drivers have a reaction time greater than 1.9 seconds = P(x > 1.9) = P(z > 2.22) = 1 - P(z<2.22) = 1 - 0.9868 = 0.0132 = 1.32%

c) For x = 1.45

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{1.45-1.5}{0.18}=-0.28

For x = 1.75

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{1.75-1.5}{0.18}=1.39

From the normal distribution table, P(1.45 < x < 1.75) = P(-0.28 < z < 1.39) = P(z < 1.39) - P(z< - 0.28) = 0.9177 - 0.3897 = 0.528 = 52.8%

d) A percentage of 10% corresponds to a z score of -1.28

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\-1.28=\frac{x-1.5}{0.18}\\\\x-1.5=-0.2034\\\\x=1.27

e) P(z < z1) - P(z< -z1) = 60%

P(z < z1) - P(z< -z1) = 0.6

P(z < -z1) = 1 - P(z < z1)

P(z<z1) - (1 - P(z < z1)) = 0.6

2P(z<z1) - 1= 0.6

2P(z<z1) = 1.6

P(z<z1) = 0.8

From the z table, z1 = 0.85

0.85=\frac{x-1.5}{0.18}and-0.85=\frac{x -1.5}{0.18}  \\\\x=1.65 \ and\ x=1.35

The reaction time between 1.35 and 1.65 seconds
