The student is now told that the four solids, in no particular order, are magnesium bromide (MgBr2), sugar (C6H12O6), butanoic a

cid (C3H7COOH), and potassium bromide (KBr). Assuming that conductivity is correlated to the number of ions in solution, rank the four substances based on how well a 0.20 M solution in water will conduct electricity.

Answer:

Magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) > Potassium bromide (KBr) > Butanoic acid (C₃H₇COOH) > Sugar (C₆H₁₂O₆)  (Conductivity)

Explanation:

The given samples:

<u>Magnesium chloride (MgCl₂):</u>

It is a strong salt which dissociates 100% into 3 ions, 1 Mg²⁺ and 2 Cl⁻

<u>Sugar (C₆H₁₂O₆):</u>

It is a carbohydrate and will have 0% dissociation and thus, no ions.

<u>Butanoic acid (C₃H₇COOH):</u>

It is a carboxylic acid (weak acids) which partially dissociates.

<u>Potassium bromide (KBr):</u>

It is a strong salt which dissociates 100% into 2 ions, K⁺ and Br⁻.

Thus, Conductivity is directly proportional to the numbers of ions dissociated in the solution and hence will conduct more electricity.

So,

<u>Magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) > Potassium bromide (KBr) > Butanoic acid (C₃H₇COOH) > Sugar (C₆H₁₂O₆)  (Conductivity)</u>

Elements occur in a number of isotopic forms. In this problem, you will learn about the notation used to distinguish different i
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

  • <em>Number of protons, Z = 14</em>
  • <em>Number of neutrons, N = 14</em>

Explanation:

<u>1) About isotopes:</u>

<em>Isotopes</em> are different kind of atoms of the same element. Hence, they have the atomic number (Z), which is the number of <em>protons</em>, the same number of electrons (talking about to neutral atoms, not ions), and different <em>number of neutrons N).</em>

This is, it is the number of neutrons what distinguish different isotopes of an element.

<u>2) About the notation used to distinguish different isotopes:</u>

A superscript and a subscript, both to the left of the chemical symbol of the element, are used to <em>distinguish different isotopes</em>:

       A ←------------- This superscript tells the mass number of the isotope

           X ←--------- This is the chemical symbol of the element

      Z ←-------------- This subscript is the atomic number of isotope

In our case, the notiation for the isotope of silicon is:  ²⁸₁₄ Si

So, we have:

  • 28 is the mass number (A)
  • 14 is the atomic number (Z)
  • Si is the chemical symbol.

Now, you can answer the questions of the <em>part A</em>:

  • Number of protons: Z = 14
  • Number of neutrons N:

       mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

                   A         =                 Z              +                N

⇒ N = A - Z = 28 - 14 = 14

In <u>conclusion</u>:

  • Number of protons, Z = 14
  • Number of neutrons, N = 14

Pure research becomes ___ when scientists develop a hypothesis based on the data and try to solve a specific problem
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The answer is <u>applied research</u>

Explanation:

Pure research becomes <u>applied research</u> when scientists develop a hypothesis based on the data and try to solve a specific problem.

This is because the pure research try to understand, predict or explain the behavior of different phenomena <em>(the data)</em> while the applied research try to develop new technologies or methods (<em>hypothesis)</em> to take part, intervene and/or create changes on these phenomena and solve a <em>specific problem.</em>
