Finding the rate constant of Reaction
Given the instantaneous rate of reaction is 2.54x10^-2 mol/(L*s), and the initial mass of each reactant is 1.2g confined to a 750mL vessel, what ia the rate constant of this reaction?

Time it takes to reach a certain molarity
The rate of AB4 gas consumption in this reaction is constant throughtout and is given as 0.400M/s. If your reaction vessel starts with 0.15M of B2C, how long will it take to get to 30M of B2C? : AB4 + C2 --> AC2 + B2C

Re: Polar and Nonpolar
A polar or non-polar bond is also only formed through covalent bonding because of the fact that the ions are sharing electrons, making them able to have a partial negative or positive charge. Ionic bonding wont create polar or non-polar ions since they will have full charges.
