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 hydrogen atom are present in 1.53 g of water
svp [43]

Answer:

=1.02x10^{23} atoms\ H

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for water, whose molar mass is 18 g/mol, we can find two moles of hydrogen in one mole of water, therefore, for us compute the atoms, we should also use the Avogadro's number as shown below:

=1.53gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O}*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O} *\frac{6.022x10^{23}atoms\ H}{1molH} \\\\=1.02x10^{23} atoms\ H

Regards.

Using the following bond energies:
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The answer is "Option b".

Explanation:

Given equation and value:

\Rightarrow C_2H_2 \ (g)+ \frac{5}{2}O_2 \ (g) \longrightarrow 2CO_2\ (g)+H_2O\ (g)

\left\begin{array}{ccc}C \equiv  C&839\\C-H &413\\O=O &495\\ C=O &799\\ O-H &467 \end{array}\right \\\\

calculating equation value:

\Rightarrow 839 + 2(413) +\frac{5}{2} (495) \longrightarrow 2(2)799+2 \times 467 +E

\Rightarrow 839 + 826 +1237.5 = 3196+934 +E\\\\\Rightarrow 2902.5 =4130 +E\\\\\Rightarrow 2902 = 4130 +E\\\\\Rightarrow 2902 - 4130 +E\\\\\Rightarrow E = -1228 \ KJ \\\\
