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.

Describe the formation of an aqueous KI solution when KI dissolves in water

Sidana [21]

Potassium Iodide or KI is an ionic compound and dissolves to water since the two are polar substances. Like dissolves like. As KI is dissolved into water, the KI molecules dissociates into ions, the K+ and I- ions. Water molecules can stabilize these ions. The K+ ions attracts the negative side of H2O molecules which is the oxygen side while the I- ions attracts the positive side of H2O molecules or the hydrogen side.

how many moles of oxygen are needed to burn 1.33 moles of methyl alcohol (ch3oh)?2ch3oh 3o2 2co2 4h2o

dlinn [17]

<span>2 CH3OH + 3 O2 = 2 CO2 + 4 H2O

2 moles CH3OH ---------------- 3 moles O2
1.33 moles CH3OH ----------- ( moles O2)

moles O2 = 1.33 x 3 / 2

moles O2 = 3.99 / 2

= 1.995 moles of O2</span>

Calculate the internal energy (in Joules) of a system that loses 134.8 J that is compressed with a pressure of 5.73 atm from 8.5

Nataly_w [17]

The change in the internal energy of the system is -4511.8 J.

<h3>What is the change in the internal energy?</h3>

We know that according to the first law of thermodynamics, energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to the other.

Now we know that;

ΔE = q + w

ΔE = Change in internal energy

q = heat absorbed or evolved

w = work done

Now we have;

q = - 134.8 J (The system losses heat)

w = PdV

w = 5.73 (1.00 - 8.540)

w = -43.2 Latm or -4377 J

Then we have;

ΔE = - 134.8 J + (-4377 J)

ΔE = -4511.8 J

Ethylene (C2H4) is the starting material for the preparation of polyethylene. Although typically made during the processing of p

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

1.17 grams

Explanation:

Let's consider the balanced equation for the combustion of ethylene.

C₂H₄(g) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 CO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(l)

We can establish the following relations:

1411 kJ are released (-1411 kJ) when 1 mole of C₂H₄ burns.
The molar mass of C₂H₄ is 28.05 g/mol.

The grams of C₂H₄ burned to give 59.0 kJ of heat (q = -59.0 kJ) is:

$-59.0kJ.\frac{1molC_{2}H_{4}}{-1411kJ} .\frac{28.05gC_{2}H_{4}}{1molC_{2}H_{4}} =1.17gC_{2}H_{4}$
