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

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.

What elements can join wit other elements o form a covalent bond
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Non metals join to form covalent bond.

Explanation:

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

Both atoms bonded through covalent bond.

In Cl₂ both chlorine atoms are bonded through the covalent bond.

A chemist adds 485 mL of a 0.0025 mol/L calcium sulfate solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of calcium sul
viva [34]

Answer : The mass in grams of calcium sulfate is 0.16 grams.

Explanation :

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one litre of solution.

Formula used :

Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution}}

Solute is, CaSO_4

Given:

Molarity of CaSO_4 = 0.0025 mol/L

Molar mass of CaSO_4 = 136 g/mole

Volume of solution = 485 mL

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

0.0025=\frac{\text{Mass of }CaSO_4\times 1000}{136\times 485}

\text{Mass of }CaSO_4=0.16g

Thus, the mass in grams of calcium sulfate is 0.16 grams.

Which of the following is a source of dissolved substances in the ocean?
kari74 [83]
The best answer among the choices given is option A. Chemical weathering of rocks is a source of dissolved substances in the ocean. It is a process that involves the erosion of rocks due to chemical reactions by water and substances dissolved in  the water. Therefore, it most likely the source of dissolved substances.
