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

If I have 7.5 L of a gas in a piston at a pressure of 1.75 atm and compress the gas until its volume is 3.7 L, what will the new

Sergio [31]

Answer:

3.55atm

Explanation:

We will apply Boyle's law formula in solving this problem.

P1V1 = P2V2

And with values given in the question

P1=initial pressure of gas = 1.75atm

V1=initial volume of gas =7.5L

P2=final pressure of gas inside new piston in atm

V2=final volume of gas = 3.7L

We need to find the final pressure

From the equation, P1V1 = P2V2,

We make P2 subject

P2 = (P1V1) / V2

P2 = (1.75×7.5)/3.7

P2=3.55atm

Therefore, the new pressure inside the piston is 3.55atm

The mass spectrum of an unknown compound has a molecular ion peak with a relative intensity of 57.10% and an M+1 peak of 6.83%.

max2010maxim [7]

There are 11 Carbon atoms in the compound.

<u>Solution:</u>

Carbon atom count is the ratio of the M peak to the M+1 peak.

$\text{ Number of Carbon atoms }=\frac{\text { Relative intensity of } M+1 \text { peak }}{0.011 \times \text { Relative tntensity of } M \text { peak }}$

Here M peak is 57.10% and M+1 peak is 6.83%. On applying the values in the formula we get,

$\frac{0.0683}{0.011\times0.571g} = 10.87\approx11$

Therefore, the number of Carbon atoms in the compound are 11.

Refer the image attached below for a better understanding of M peak and M+1 peak.

The heaviest ion that has the greatest m/z value is said to be the molecular ion peak in mass spectrum.

Why do we use 51.0mL of NaOH but only 50.0mL of HCl?

bixtya [17]

Answer

Na OH reacts with H Cl and forms Na Cl and H₂O

NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O

Here we can see that 1 mole of NaOH reacting with 1 mole of HCl and forming 1 mole of NaCl and 1 mole of H₂O

when NaOH and HCl are added together in equal amount then they will completely neutralize each other but NaOH is hygroscopic in nature which means it can absorb water from air so it will not be weighted accurately.

hence, for neutralization we will take extra NaOH.

What happens when soluble fiber is mixed with water?

storchak [24]

Answer:

Soluble fiber attracts water and turns to gel during digestion. This slows digestion. Soluble fiber is found in oat bran, barley, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, peas, and some fruits and vegetables. It is also found in psyllium, a common fiber supplement.:

Is Solar energy a matter?

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Solar energy is a renewable free source of energy

Explanation:

It is sustainable and totally inexhaustible, unlike fossil fuels which are finite. It is also a non-polluting source of energy and it does not emit any greenhouse gases when producing electricity.
