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

Calculate the mass of Cr(ClO2)2 that contains 5.57 × 10<br> ^22 chlorine atoms.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Your strategy here will be to

use the chemical formula of carbon dioxide to find the number of molecules of

CO

2

that would contain that many atoms of oxygen

use Avogadro's constant to convert the number of molecules to moles of carbon dioxide

use the molar mass of carbon dioxide to convert the moles to grams

So, you know that one molecule of carbon dioxide contains

one atom of carbon,

1

×

C

two atoms of oxygen,

2

×

O

This means that the given number of atoms of oxygen would correspond to

4.8

10

22

atoms O

⋅

1 molecule CO

2

2

atoms O

=

2.4

⋅

10

22

molecules CO

2

Now, one mole of any molecular substance contains exactly

6.022

⋅

10

22

molecules of that substance -- this is known as Avogadro's constant.

In your case, the sample of carbon dioxide molecules contains

2.4

⋅

10

22

molecules CO

2

⋅

1 mole CO

2

6.022

⋅

10

23

molecules CO

2

=

0.03985 moles CO

2

Finally, carbon dioxide has a molar mass of

44.01 g mol

−

1

, which means that your sample will have a mass of

0.03985

moles CO

2

The answer is rounded to two sig figs, the number of sig figs you have for the number of atoms of oxygen present in the sample.
