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 Ksp of CaF2 is 4.0 x 10-11. What is the solubility of CaF2 in 0.10 M Ca(NO3)2? Give your answer using scientific notation an
Ilya [14]

Answer:

1.0\times 10^{-5} M is the solubility of CaF_2 in 0.10 M Ca(NO_3)_2.

Explanation:

Concentration of calcium nitrate = [Ca(NO_3)_2]=0.10 M

Ca(NO_3)_2\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+2NO_3^{-}

[Ca(NO_3)_2]=0.10 M=[Ca^{2+}]

Solubility product of the calcium fluoride = K_{sp}=4.0\times 10^{-11}

Solubility of calcium fluoride in calcium nitrate solution :

CaF_2\rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}+2F^-

            (0.10+S)   (2S)

The expression of solubility is given by :

K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][F^-]^2

4.0\times 10^{-11}=(S+0.10)(2S)^2

Solving for S:

S=1.0\times 10^{-5} M

1.0\times 10^{-5} M is the solubility of CaF_2 in 0.10 M Ca(NO_3)_2.

What does the law of conservation of energy impy
Rasek [7]
The law of conservation of energy is that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transferred or transformed from one form to another (including transformation into or from mass, as matter). The total amount of energy in a closed system never changes. energy in a system may be transformed so that it resides in a different state.
