Explain the conductivity results observed for sodium chloride in the solid state and in aqueous solution

NaCl when in solid state does not conduct electricity while it does in aqueous solution.

Explanation:

NaCl (or what we call common salt) first needs to be either melted or dissolved in a solution for it to conduct electricity. The reason for this is that electrons in a solid state does not have enough freedom to move to either the Cathode (-ve) or to the Anode (+ve). So in a liquid state the electrons are now free enough to move.

Complete and balance the reaction in acidic solution. equation: ZnS + NO_{3}^{-} -> Zn^{2+} + S + NO ZnS+NO−3⟶Zn2++S+NO Which
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Balanced reaction: 3ZnS+2NO_{3}^{-}+8H^{+}\rightarrow 3Zn^{2+}+3S+2NO+4H_{2}O

S is oxidized and N is reduced.

NO_{3}^{-} is the oxidizing agent and ZnS is the reducing agent.

Explanation:

Reaction: ZnS+NO_{3}^{-}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+S+NO

\Rightarrow Oxidation: ZnS\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+S

Balance charge: ZnS-2e^{-}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+S  ...............(1)

\Rightarrow Reduction: NO_{3}^{-}\rightarrow NO

Balance H and O in acidic medium : NO_{3}^{-}+4H^{+}\rightarrow NO+2H_{2}O

Balance charge: NO_{3}^{-}+4H^{+}+3e^{-}\rightarrow NO+2H_{2}O ...............(2)

[3\timesEquation-(1)] + [ 2\timesEquation-(2)]:

3ZnS+2NO_{3}^{-}+8H^{+}\rightarrow 3Zn^{2+}+3S+2NO+4H_{2}O

Oxidation number of S increases from (-2) to (0) for the conversion of ZnS to S. Therefore S is oxidized.

Oxidation number of N decreases from (+5) to (+2) for the conversion of NO_{3}^{-} to NO. Therefore N is reduced.

NO_{3}^{-} consumes electron from ZnS. Therefore NO_{3}^{-} is the oxidizing agent and ZnS is the reducing agent.

Which statement about uncouplers is NOT true? A. They allow ATP synthesis with no electron transport. B. They allow electron tra
Arturiano [62]

Answer: the statement that is wrong about uncouplers is option A ( they allow ATP synthesis with no electron transport).

Explanation:

An uncoupler is a molecule that disrupts oxidative phosphorylation by dissociating the reactions of ATP synthesis from the electron transport chain. They allow electron transport without ATP synthesis. Their mechanism of action is basically to transport protons back into the matrix, preventing the required buildup of charge on the other side.

2,4-DNP is an example of an uncoupler.
