Answer:

You would be electrocuted if you bathed with the hair dryer, even if the shower is with perfectly pure distilled water, because even though the distilled water is pure and does not conduct electricity, it dissolves the ions of the body, from the bathtub, from the hair dryer or any surface that is not completely clean and will conduct electricity.

Explanation:

Water does not conduct electricity, but ions dissolved in water will. Because the electric current is transported by means of ions in solution, the conductivity increases when the ion concentration increases. Then pure or distilled water would not conduct electricity. Upon contact with any surface that is not completely clean, ions dissolve and conduct electricity.

The water used to take a shower, wash or drink water, contains mineral salts that are ionized, that is to say that they are electrically charged, in addition to different ions such as calcium, magnesium, nitrites, chlorides and nitrates, which allow the passage of current.

You would be electrocuted if you bathed with the hair dryer, even if the shower is with perfectly pure distilled water, because even though the distilled water is pure and does not conduct electricity, it dissolves, as previously mentioned, the ions of the body, from the bathtub, from the hair dryer or any surface that is not completely clean and will conduct electricity.

the water wants to give the electricity to you because it doesn't want any more electrons it throws them away and gives them to your body

How many particles are present in 10.0 moles of table salt?

Dima020 [189]

1.01 x 10^24 molecules.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of molecules in a given number of mole, we can simply multiply by Avogadro's number which is equal to 6.022 x 10 ^23.

Therefore,

10 molecules = 1.68 mol x (6.022 x 10^23 molecules) / (1 mol = 1.01 x 10^24) molecules.

I hope this helps :)

Which statement is true of a chemical change?

Andru [333]

The appropriate answer is a. it involves a change in the molecular structure of the substance. A change in phase or state is referred to as a physical change. For example...liquid water freezing is a physical change because the state changes but solid water is still H20. Separating water into its constituent atoms, hydrogen and oxygen is a chemical change because the molecular structure of water is now non existent.

What is the molarity of a solution containing 12.0 g of NaOH in 250.0 mL of solution?

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

1.196 M NaOH

Explanation:

Molarity = moles/Volume (L)

moles NaOH = mass NaOH/MM NaOH = 12/40.01 = 0.299 moles NaOH

Volume solution = 250 mL = 0.250L

M = 0.299/0.250=1.196 M NaOH
