<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.

The  tendency  of  iron  to  rust   depend  on  the  Ph   of solution

 The   formation  of  rust  increases  as  the  PH  decreases.  This  led  agent  of  rusting  that  is  oxygen  gets  more  positive  as  H+  ions  increase   which  facilitate     rusting. The    lower  the  Ph  level  the   quick  the   corrosion.

The solubility of o2 at 20c is 1.38 x10^-3. the partial presure of o2 in the air at sea level is 0.27 atm. using henery;s law, c
netineya [11]

<u>Answer:</u> The solubility of oxygen at 682 torr is 4.58\times 10^{-3}M

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

C_{A}=K_H\times p_{A}

Or,

\frac{C_{1}}{C_{2}}=\frac{p_{1}}{p_2}

where,

C_1\text{ and }p_1 are the initial concentration and partial pressure of oxygen gas

C_2\text{ and }p_2 are the final concentration and partial pressure of oxygen gas

We are given:

Conversion factor used:  1 atm = 760 torr

C_1=1.38\times 10^{-3}M\\p_1=0.27atm\\C_2=?\\p_2=682torr=0.897atm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{1.38\times 10^{-3}}{C_2}=\frac{0.27atm}{0.897atm}\\\\C_2=\frac{1.38\times 10^{-3}\times 0.897atm}{0.27atm}=4.58\times 10^{-3}M

Hence, the solubility of oxygen gas at 628 torr is 4.58\times 10^{-3}M
