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.

One part of the cell theory states that all living things are made up of one or more cells. Scientists had to find ways to test
sergejj [24]

Answer:

A population or community research line can be carried out, wherever at a certain point in time, regardless of whether it is a cross-sectional study.

In addition, the people who would be the population to be studied or the object of study might or might not know the cause of the study (blind) while the researcher could be experimentally participatory.

Explanation:

They are prevalence studies, in which the presence of a health condition or state is determined in a well-defined population and in a determined time frame: one day, one week, a particular moment in life, even if it does not temporarily coincide in all the subjects (for example, the blood pressure figures at the time of entering the school or at the beginning of the holidays, the prevalence of diabetes in hospitalized patients on a given day, etc.).

They are like "photographs" of a state of affairs at a given moment. The simultaneous determination of what is understood by exposure and event does not allow defining causality.

. What happens the pH of an acid solution as a base is added?​
Dmitrij [34]

As a base is added to an acidic solution, the H+ ions in solution that make it acidic are slowly neutralized into water (via OH-, the base). As these ions are converted into water the concentration of them decreases, so the pH decreases, as they are directly related.

Hope this helps!
