Why is potassium nitrate classified as aj electrolyte?

<span>KNO3 is a strong electrolyte because it completely dissociates into ions in water. Dissociates means it immediately breaks into ions of K+ (potassium cation) and NO3- (nitrate anion). Thus it also conducts electricity very well compared to a weak electrolyte.</span>

Potassium Nitrate is classified as an electrolyte because of its highly conductive nature when dissolved in water.

Explanation

Potassium nitrate represented as KNO3 are ionic bonded compounds.

They are polar substances as the electronegative difference between nitrate and potassium is very high, so they can easily break their bond and dissolve in water easily.

It has large range of applications. It is even used as gun powder, in firecrackers etc,.

As the KNO3 is easily soluble in water and they can form K+ and NO3- ions when dissolved in water.

These ions acts as conducting agents in the water solution so they act as electrolyte.

As electrolytes are the solutions which have the capacity to conduct electrical energy in the electrochemical reactions, the conductive nature of potassium nitrate dissolved in water makes them useful as an electrolyte in salt bridge experiment.

Does a large or small body cool faster?

Nataly [62]

Answer:

SO… The larger wire looses heat energy faster, however the smaller wire decreases temperature faster. ... Their surface area is much larger in proportion to their body mass and they lose heat through their skin when it is cold and they gain heat through their skin when it is hot much faster than an adult does.

Please help me with this question!!

Answer: 824.6 g of NaCl are produced from 500.0 g of chlorine.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

$\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$ $\text{Moles of} Cl_2=\frac{500.00g}{71g/mol}=7.04moles$

$2Na+Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl$

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of $Cl_2$ produce = 2 moles of $NaCl$

Thus 7.04 moles of $Cl_2$ will produce= $\frac{2}{1}\times 7.04=14.08moles$ of $NaCl$

Mass of $NaCl=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=14.08moles\times 58.5g/mol=824.26g$

Thus 824.6 g of NaCl are produced from 500.0 g of chlorine.

What would happen to the sup- ply of ATP in your cells if you did not eat enough carbohydrates? How would this affect your cells

harina [27]

Answer:

ATP supply will reduced or decrease drastically

Explanation:

ATP will reduced because carbohydrates are energy given food. Chemical energy are in carbohydrates, therefore when the undergo digestion i.e breakdown of larger pieces into smaller pieces, it is broken down into glucose i.e energy is released. Therefore, if there is now carbohydrates, ATP supply will reduced and there won't be energy needed for different cellular metabolic activities. The breakdown of carbohydrate supply energy.
