The concentration of ionic substances is important for the heart to beat. Your heart responds to electrical impulses that travel

through heart cells that are made up mostly of water. Which properties of ionic compounds are important to support this function?

Answer is: conductivity in solution  and solubility in water.

Ionic compounds conduct electricity, because it dissociate in ions and ions conduct electicity.

Ionic substances dissociate in water on cations and anions. For example, dissociation of potassium chloride in water: KCl(aq) → K⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

Ionic compounds (most of the salts, strong acids and bases) dissolve in water because an ion-dipole interactions.

An ion-dipole is electrostatic interaction between a charged ion (cations and anions) and a molecule that has a dipole (in this example water).

Dipole is a separation of positive and negative charges. In water, hydrogen has positive and oxygen has negative charge.

For the reaction, identify the Lewis acid and the Lewis base.<br> AlF3 + CH3F → CH3+ + [AlF4]-
Ivanshal [37]
Answer:
            AlF₃ is Lewis Acid

            CH₃F is Lewis Base

Explanation:
                     According to Lewis concept ,"those compounds which donate pair of electrons are called as Lewis Base and those accepting pair of electrons are called as Lewis Acid.

In Given Reaction,
<span>                               AlF</span>₃<span> + CH</span>₃<span>F → CH</span>₃⁺<span> + [AlF</span>₄<span>]</span>⁻

AlF₃ is acting as acid because the octet of Al is not complete, hence it has tendency to accept electrons.

CH₃F is acting as a base because the F atom containing three lone pair of electrons can donate it to Al metal resulting in the formation of electrophile i.e. CH₃⁺.

Between HClO3 and HIO3, which is stronger and why? Question 16 options: 1) HClO3 is stronger because chlorine is in a higher oxi
natima [27]

Answer:

2) HClO3 is stronger because chlorine is more electronegative than iodine.

Explanation:

The more electronegative the element is the more strong or acidic it becomes.

Chlorine being more electronegative than Iodine makes it easier for it to pull the electron of hydrogen more strongly and hence has a higher tendency to release a H+ unit. Hence that makes it stronger.

How many molecules of ethanol (c2h5oh) (the alcohol in alcoholic beverages) are present in 155 ml of ethanol? the density of eth
ozzi

First convert volume to mass:

mass = 0.789 g/mL * 155 mL = 122.295 g

 

Then convert mass to number of moles:

number of moles = 122.295 g * (1 mole / 46 g) = 2.66 moles

 

Using avogadros number, we get the molecules:

<span>number of molecules = 2.66 moles * 6.022 x 10^23 molecules / mole = 1.6 x 10^24 molecules</span>
