C2H5OH is able to dissociate in water to conduct an electric current. This compound could be classified as

1 answer:

7 0

The fact that when in solution C₂H₅OH conducts electricity means that it is an electrolyte so you can automatically cross out A and C (the definition of an electrolyte is a substance that will conduct electricity when in a solution). I think the correct answer is B due to the -OH group (the - indicates a covalent bond) which allows the molecule to give up a proton (H⁺).
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Which two subatomic particles have the greatest mass?

denpristay [2]

Answer:

PROTON AND NEUTRON

Explanation:

The mass of proton is : $1.67*10^{-27}kg$

A proton is one of the main particles that make up the atom . The other two particles are neutron and electron. Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom.This is a tiny , dense region at the centre of the atom. Protons have a positive charge of one (+1) and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit ( amu ) , which is about $1.67*10^{-27}kg$ . Together with neutrons , they make up virtually all of the mass of an atom.

The mass of neutron is also approximately: $1.67*10^{-27}kg$ but a little more than that .

Atoms of all elements - except Hydrogen , have neutrons in their nucleus . Unlike protons and electrons , these have no charge - they are electrically neutral . The mass of a neutron is slightly greater than the mass of a proton but not very significant

Is wine a homogenous mixure

Fiesta28 [93]

Tap water and rain water are both homogeneous, even though they may have different levels of dissolved minerals and gases. A bottle of alcohol is a man-made homogeneous mixture, from a fine Italian wine to a glass of Scotch whisky. In the human body, blood plasma is an example of a homogeneous mixture.
