Explain why pure hydrogen cyanide does not conduct electricity, but become a conductor when it is dissolved in water?

Chemistry

nlexa [21]3 years ago

Generally we have to kinds of conductors

a) metallic conductors: which conduct electricity due to free movement of electrons

b) electrolytic conductors: which conduct electricity due to movement of ions.

HCN is an electrolyte and is non conducting in pure state as it has no free ions or electrons

When HCN is dissolved in water it dissociates as

HCN--->H^{+}(aq)+CN^{-}(aq)

These ions obtained due to dissociation of HCN makes it conducting in nature.

Which is stronger - the attractive forces between water molecules and chromium and chloride ions, or the combined ionic bond str
Tju [1.3M]

Answer is: the combined ionic bond strength of CrCl₂ and intermolecular forces between water molecules.

When chromium chloride (CrCl₂) is dissolved in water, the temperature of the water increases, heat of the solution is endothermic.

Dissociation of chromium chloride in water: CrCl₂(aq) → Cr²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq).

Energy (the lattice energy) is required to pull apart the oppositely charged ions in chromium chloride.

The heat of hydration is liberated energy when the separated ions (in this example chromium cations and chlorine anions) attract polar water molecules.

Because the lattice energy is higher than the heat of the hydration (endothermic reaction), we can conclude that bonds between ions are strong (the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions).

18. Which statement about photosynthesis is FALSE?
joja [24]
<h3>your query : </h3>

Which statement about photosynthesis is FALSE?

Answer:

b. Oxygen is needed as a reactant to produce

glucose is the incorrect statement here

Explanation:

plants uses simple raw materials to prepare their food , which includes water ( H2O ) and Carbon dioxide ( CO2 ).

and traps sunlight by Green pigments known as chlorophyll and stores these energy in bonds of glucose molecules

so ,

after this reaction glucose and oxygen is formed as products

● hence we conclude that Oxygen is not needed as a reactant to produce glucose , oxygen is the bi product formed during photosynthesis.
