What defining feature makes a material an insulator?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kompoz [17]3 years ago
3 0
A defining feature of a material that is a good insulator would be its ability to stop or cancel an electric charge of another material. This happens because the molecules in the material are stable and there are no free electrons that would allow the charges to flow.

Consider the following equilibrium:
Ainat [17]

<u>Answer: </u>The equation which is wrong is K_p=K_c(RT)^{-5}

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given reaction:

4Fe(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)

The expression for K_c\text{ and }K_p is given by:

K_c=\frac{1}{[O_2]^3}

K_p=\frac{1}{[O_2]^3}

The concentration of solids are taken to be 1, only concentration of gases and liquid states are taken. The pressure of only gases are taken.

Relationship between K_p\text{ and }K_c is given by the expression:

K_p=K_c\times (RT)^{\Delta n_g}

where,

\Delta n_g= number of moles of gaseous products - number of moles of gaseous reactants

R = gas constant

T= temperature

For the above reaction,

\Delta n_g = number of moles of gaseous products - number of moles of gaseous reactants = 0 - 3 = -3

Hence, the expression for K_p is:

K_p=K_c\times (RT)^{-3}

Therefore, the equation which is wrong is K_p=K_c(RT)^{-5}

Answer:

It makes the pasta to get hot faster and boil quicker.

Explanation:

Adding salt to water actually raises the boiling point of the water, due to a phenomenon called boiling point elevation. Essentially, adding any non-volatile solute such as salt to a liquid causes a decrease in the liquid’s vapour pressure. A liquid boils when the vapour pressure above it equals atmospheric pressure, so a lower vapour pressure means you need a higher temperature to boil the water. The reason salt makes water boil faster has to do with specific heat capacities, or the energy it takes to raise the temperature of a substance. Salt ions dissolved in water bind to water molecules, holding them stable and making it harder for them to move around. As a result, the non-salt bound water molecules receive more of the energy provided by the stove, and therefore they get hot faster and boil quicker.
