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

Chemistry

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.

When multiplying numbers in scientific notation what do you do with exponents?
Basile [38]

Answer:

Subtract them.

Explanation:

''''"Since all number in scientific notation have base 10, we can always multiply them and divide them. To multiply two numbers in scientific notation, multiply their coefficients and add their exponents. To divide two numbers in scientific notation, divide their coefficients and subtract their exponents."""""

I was actually learned about this in school just found an source.

Which chemical equation demonstrates the law of conservation of mass!
zlopas [31]

Answer:

F. 2NO + 02 —> 2NO

H. 4NH3 + 502 —> 4NO + 6H20

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but can be convert from one form to another.

2NO + 02 —> 2NO

From the above, the total number of N on the left balance the total number on the right i.e 2 atoms of N on both side of the equation.

The total number of O on the left balance the total number on the right i.e 2 atoms of O on both side of the equation. This is certified by the law of conservation of mass.

4NH3 + 502 —> 4NO + 6H20

From the above, the total number of N on the left balance the total number on the right i.e 4 atoms of N on both side of the equation.

The total number of O on the left balance the total number on the right i.e 10 atoms of O on both side of the equation.

The total number of H on the left balance the total number on the right i.e 12 atoms of O on both side of the equation.

This is certified by the law of conservation of mass.

The rest equation did not conform to the law of conservation of mass as the atoms on the left side did not balance those on the right side

2. The Density of Water is 1.0000g/cm3. Based on this property of water,
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

if the object sank then that object has a greater density then water. if the object floated then its density is lower then water.

Explanation:

lets say object 1 has a density of 24/cm3. the density is greater then water (1.0000g/cm3) so it would sink. now lets say object 2 has a density of 0.79383g/cm3 since it's less then the density of water (1.0000g/cm3) it would float.
