Covalent solutes are considered non-electrolytes. What does this mean for the conductivity of the solution?

GuDViN [60]3 years ago

Non electrolytes do not dissociate at all in solution and thus they do not produce ions and hence non electrolytes solutions do not conduct electricity. They are typically polar covalent substances that dissolve in water as molecules instead of ions. An example of a non electrolyte is sugar which dissolves in water but does not form ions.

Answer:

This means that this type of solution would not be able to conduct electricity.

Explanation:

Solutions made of electrolytes are able to conduct electricity because they are made from ionic compounds. On the other hand, covalent solutes don't form ions and therefore are not able to conduct electrical charges.

A sample of glucose ( C6H12O6 ) of mass 8.44 grams is dissolved in 2.11 kg water. What is the freezing point of this solution? T
taurus [48]

Answer:

<em>- 0.0413°C ≅ - 0.041°C (nearest thousands).</em>

Explanation:

  • Adding solute to water causes the depression of the freezing point.

  • We have the relation:

<em>ΔTf = Kf.m,</em>

Where,

ΔTf is the change in the freezing point.

Kf is the freezing point depression constant (Kf = 1.86 °C/m).

m is the molality of the solution.

<em>Molality is the no. of moles of solute per kg of the solution.</em>

  • <em>no. of moles of solute (glucose) = mass/molar mass</em> = (8.44 g)/(180.156 g/mol) = <em>0.04685 mol.</em>

<em>∴ molality (m) = no. of moles of solute/kg of solvent</em> = (0.04685 mol)/(2.11 kg) = <em>0.0222 m.</em>

∴ ΔTf = Kf.m = (1.86 °C/m)(0.0222 m) = 0.0413°C.

<em>∴ The freezing point of the solution = the freezing point of water - ΔTf </em>= 0.0°C - 0.0413°C = <em>- 0.0413°C ≅ - 0.041°C (nearest thousands).</em>

How are ironic bonds and covalent bonds different and how are they different?
Vinil7 [7]
Ionic bonds are forces that hold together electrostatic forces of attractions between oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds have an electronegativity difference greater than or equal to 2. Covalent bonds have an electronegativity difference that is less than 2.

I need help identifying the type of reactions. Can anyone help?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Reaction 5: Decomposition reaction.

Reaction 6: Single replacement reaction

Reaction 7: Combination reaction.

Reaction 8: Combustion reaction.

Explanation:

<u><em>Reaction 5:</em></u>    2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂.

  • It is a decomposition reaction.
  • A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds.
  • In this reaction: potassium chlorate decomposes into two single components (potassium chloride and oxygen).
  • So, it is a decomposition reaction.

<u><em>Reaction 6:</em></u> Zn + 2HCl → H₂ + ZnCl₂.

  • It is a single replacement reaction.
  • A single-replacement reaction, a single-displacement reaction, is a reaction by which one (or more) element(s) replaces an/other element(s) in a compound.
  • It is most often occur if element is more reactive than the other, thus giving a more stable product.
  • In this reaction, zinc metal (more active) displaces the hydrogen to form hydrogen gas and zinc chloride, a salt. Zinc reacts quickly with the acid to form bubbles of hydrogen.

<u><em>Reaction 7:</em></u> N₂O₅ + H₂O → 2HNO₃.

  • It is a combination "synthesis" reaction.
  • A synthesis reaction has two or more reactants and only one product.
  • In this reaction, dinitrogen pentoxide reacts with water to produce nitric acid.
  • So, it is considered as a synthetic "combination" reaction.

<u><em>Reaction 8:</em></u> 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ →  4CO₂ + 6H₂O.

  • It is a combustion reaction.
  • A combustion reaction is a reaction where hydrocarbon alkane is completely burned in oxygen to produce water and carbon dioxide.
  • In this reaction 1.0 mole of ethane is burned to give 4.0 moles of carbon dioxide and 6.0 moles of water.
  • So, it is considered as a combustion reaction.

Ethanol (c2h5oh) melts at -114°c. the enthalpy of fusion is 5.02 kj/mol. the specific heats of solid and liquid ethanol are 0.9
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: 4.18925 kJ heat is needed to convert 25.0 g of solid ethanol at -135 °C to liquid ethanol at -50°C.

Explanation:

Temperature of Solid C_2H_5OH=-135^oC=138 K(0^oC=273K)

Melting temperature of Solid C_2H_5OH=114^oC=159 K

Temperature of liquid C_2H_5OH=-50^oC=223K

Specific heats of solid  ethanol = 0.97 J/gK

Specific heats of liquid ethanol = 2.3 J/gK

Heat required to melt the the 25 g solid C_2H_5OH at 159 K

\Delta T_1 = 159 K - 138 K = 21 K

Q_1=mc\Delta T= 25\times 0.97J/gK\times 21 K=509.25 J

Heat required to melt and raise the temperature of C_2H_5OH upto 223 K

\Delta T_2 = 223 K - 159 K  = 64 K

Q_2=mc\Delta T= 25\times 2.3J/gK\times 64 K=3680 J

Total heat to convert solid ethanol to liquid ethanol at given temperature :

Q_1+Q_2=509.25 J+3680 J=4189.25 J=4.18925 kJ (1kJ=1000J)

Hence, 4.18925 kJ of heat will be required to convert 25.0 g of solid ethanol at -135 °C to liquid ethanol at -50°C.
