Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

A single covalent bond forms when two atoms share one pair of electrons.

Covalent bonds are formed between two or more atoms having zero or very small electronegativity difference. Such bonds exists between molecules of non-metals.

To form a covalent bond, each of the two participating atoms would put down an unpaired electron.
The unpaired electrons form a shared pair of electrons between them.
This shared pair of electrons constitutes the electron cloud that binds the two atoms together.
The shared pair of electron is the covalent bond.

aivan3 [116]

The pH meter can only be used to differentiate between weak and strong acids providing that the concentrations are known. However, it is convenient to determine the concentration of an acid (or base) by titration.

Answer: Molar concentration of the tree sap have to be 0.783 M

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=iCRT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 19.6 atm

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $32^oC=[273+32]=305K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$19.6atm=1\times C\times 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 305K$

$C=0.783M$

Thus the molar concentration of the tree sap have to be 0.783 M to achieve this pressure on a day when the temperature is 32°C

selective breeding

Explanation:

Example: pretend that rabbits can only be brown or black and black is dominant. If only the brown rabbits reproduce it will eventually be more common Hope this helps
