Why do ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water?

1 answer:

4 0

Conductive when liquid - ions are charged particles, but ionic compounds can only conduct electricity if their ions are free to move. So ionic compounds do not conduct electricity when they are solid, but they do conduct electricity when they are dissolved in water or when they are melted.

Find the boiling point temperature at 760 torr of an isomer of octane, c8h18, if its enthalpy of vaporization is 38,210 j mol-1

mixas84 [53]

According to Clausius-Clayperon equation,

$ln(\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }) = \frac{delta H_{vap} }{R} (\frac{1}{T_{2} }-\frac{1}{T_{1} } )$

$P_{1}$ is the vapor pressure at boiling point = 760 torr

$P_{2}$ is the vapor pressure at T_{2} =638.43 torr

Temperature $T_{2} = 110.0^{0}C + 273 = 383 K$

Δ $H_{vap} = 38210 J/mol$

Plugging in the values, we get

$ln(\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }) = \frac{delta H_{vap} }{R} (\frac{1}{T_{2} }-\frac{1}{T_{1} } )$

ln $\frac{760 torr}{638.43 torr} =\frac{38210 J/mol}{8.314 J/(mol.K)} (\frac{1}{383 K}-\frac{1}{T_{1} }$

$T_{1} = 389 K$

Therefore, the boiling point of octane = 389 K - 273 = $116^{0}C$

A particular first-order reaction has a rate constant of 1.35 × 102 s-1 at 25.0°c. what is the magnitude of k at 75.0°c if ea =

IgorC [24]

According to this formula:
K= A*(e^(-Ea/RT) when we have K =1.35X10^2 & T= 25+273= 298K &R=0.0821
Ea= 85.6 KJ/mol So by subsitution we can get A:
1.35x10^2 = A*(e^(-85.6/0.0821*298))
1.35x10^2 = A * 0.03
A= 4333
by substitution with the new value of T(75+273) = 348K & A to get the new K
∴K= 4333*(e^(-85.6/0.0821*348)
= 2.16 x10^2

Is melting an ice cube on your hand a chemical or physical and why? Need reasons!!

xenn [34]

Physical, because the ice is only changing it's state. It's not changing to a new substance.
