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 much energy is absorbed when a 50.0 gram magnesium strip is heated from 45 degrees to 90 degrees
Leno4ka [110]
Quantity of heat energy required for change of phase= (mass) x (heat of fusion or heat of vaporization), or in equation form Q=mL. Heat of fusion=80cal/g; heat of vaporization=540 cal/g
quanity of heat energy responsible for a temperature change= (mass) x (specific heat) x (change in temperature), or in equation form,  Q=mcT

Here's another way to calculate it  

Calculate the energy absorbed by 20 grams of 100 C water that is turned into 100 C steam
Q=(20g)(540 cal/g)=10,800 cal 


I hope this helps you.

A gas has a volume of 45.0 mL and a pressure of .98 atm. If the pressure increased to 2.1 atm and the temperature remained the s
goblinko [34]

Answer: The new volume is 95.45 mL.

Explanation:

Given: V_{1} = 45.0 mL,         P_{1} = 0.98 atm

P_{2} = 2.1 atm,               V_{2} = ?

According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

Therefore, formula used to calculate the new volume is as follows.

\frac{P_{1}}{V_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}}{V_{2}}

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

\frac{P_{1}}{V_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}}{V_{2}}\\\frac{0.98 atm}{45.0 mL} = \frac{2.1 atm}{V_{2}}\\V_{2} = 95.45 mL

Thus, we can conclude that the new volume is 95.45 mL.

postnew [5]
You didn't put a + charge on one of the Ag. It has to be on the left side 

2H2O + MnO2 ==> MnO4^- + 3e + 4H^+ 

Ag^+ + e ==> Ag^+ 
Those are the two BALANCED half reactions. Multiply equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 3 and add them.
