    No.. this isn't a convention exam. that's a module quiz from FLVS so making use of this answer will be an academic integrity violation. Plus it has a glaring mistake in it. Mr. Carlyle FLVS Chemistry instructor this question is a contravention of the Yahoo community rules. The question is from a information superhighway college plus a contravention by making use of solicitation for participants to unknowingly help them dishonest on an exam. 30653065chem30653065
