The sentences that include a run-on error are:

  1. I really enjoyed the novel but I did not enjoy hearing the author lecture.
  2. I read until dawn, I finished the book!

Explanation:

  1. "I really enjoyed the novel but I did not enjoy hearing the author lecture." - This sentence is a run-on because it lacks a comma before the conjunction "but." It should be: "I really enjoyed the novel, but I did not enjoy hearing the author lecture."

  2. "I read until dawn, I finished the book!" - This is a classic example of a comma splice, which is a type of run-on error. Two independent clauses are joined with just a comma. It can be corrected by using a semicolon, a conjunction, or by making them separate sentences: "I read until dawn; I finished the book!" or "I read until dawn. I finished the book!"

A reaction is performed to study the reaction of ICl with hydrogen: 2 ICl + H2 -> I2 + 2 HCl The following reaction rate data was obtained in four separate experiments. Experiment [ICl]0, M [H2]0, M Initial Rate, M s^-1 1 0.257 3.20 x 10^-2 4.87 x 10^-4 2 0.514 3.20 x 10^-2 9.74 x 10^-4 3 0.257 6.40 x 10^-2 1.95 x 10^-3 4 0.514 6.40 x 10^-2 3.89 x 10^-3 What is the rate law for the reaction and what is the numerical value of k ? Complete the rate law in the box below. Remember that an exponent of ' 1 ' is not shown and concentrations taken to the zero power do not appear. (Use k for the rate constant.) Rate = k= M^-2 s^-1

Graph the following function using the techniques of shifting, compressing, stretching, and/or reflecting. Start with the graph of the basic function. Be sure to show at least three key points. Find the domain and the range of the function. h(x) = sqrt(-x) - 3 Which transformations are needed to graph the function h(x) = sqrt(-x) - 3 ? Choose the correct answer. A. The graph of y = sqrt(x) should be horizontally shifted to the right by 3 units and reflected about the x-axis. B. The graph of y = sqrt(x) should be vertically shifted up by 3 units and reflected about the x-axis. C. The graph of y = sqrt(x) should be vertically shifted down by 3 units and reflected about the y-axis. D. The graph of y = sqrt(x) should be horizontally shifted to the left by 3 units and reflected about the y-axis.
