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>

Whats the volume of a 2 year old
musickatia [10]

Answer:

here's a great idea!

take a jug of water by finding the volume of that water and ask the 2 year old to chug it all in... the volume of water drank by the 2 year old is the volume of the two year old

Which of the following most completely describes an object's motion?
Gre4nikov [31]
Hello!

This is a difficultly easy question, mostly because it seems like all of the answers would be right, but if I had to choose one, I would say (D) because this option gives the most detail.

Option A only tells us how fast a car was moving
Option B only tells us the rate the water falls and how fast it is going
Option C only tells how far and not the speed or destination
Option D is correct, it tells us the speed/rate, the destination, and what is moving


Therefore, Option (D) is correct


If this helps, please mark brainliest, have a great day!!

expeople1 [14]

Answer: 44.8 L

Explanation:

To find the volume, we would need to use the ideal gas law.

Ideal Gas Law: PV=nRT

We take the given information and plug it into the equation, but first, we have to manipulate the equation so that we are finding volume.

V=\frac{nRT}{P}

P= 1.00 atm (STP)

T= 273.15 K (STP)

R= 0.08206 Latm/Kmol

n= 64g*\frac{1mol}{31.998 g O_{2} }=2 mol

V=\frac{(2 mol)(0.08206Latm/Kmol)(273.15 K)}{1.00atm} =44.8 L
