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

Chemistry

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.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Double replacement:

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

2AsCl  +  3H₂S     →       As₂S₃ + 6HCl

The given reaction is double displacement reaction. In this reaction arsenic trichloride and hydrogen sulfide react and produced arsenic sulfide and hydrogen chloride. In double displacement reaction both anion an cation of reactants are exchanged with each other.

Double replacement:

It is the reaction in which two compound exchange their ions and form new compounds.

General equation:

AB + CD → AD +CB

If the concentration of a KCl solution is 16.0% (m/v), then the mass of KCl in 26.0 mL of solution is ________.
melomori [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is 4.16 grams.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the concentration of KCl solution is 16 % m/v, which means that 100 ml of the solution will contain 16 grams of KCl.

The molarity of the solution can be determined by using the formula,

M = weight/molecular mass × 1000/Volume

The molecular mass of KCl is 74.6 grams per mole.

M = 16/74.6 × 1000/100

M = 16/74.6

M = 2.14 M

Now the weight of KCl present in the solution of 26 ml will be,

2.14 = Wt./74.6 × 1000 /26

Wt. = 4.16 grams

What is the formal charge on the hydrogen atom in hbr? use the periodic table as needed?
Westkost [7]
A covalent bond is formed between H and Br
The structure of HBr is as follows
H —Br
Formal charge for atoms are the charges for individual atoms in compounds.
Formal charge can be calculated as follows ;
Formal charge of atom = number of valence electrons -( number of bonds + number of lone pair electrons)
H has 1 valence electron, 1 bond and 0 number of lone pair electrons
Formal charge of H = 1 -1 -0 = 0
H has 0 charge
