Answer:

The solute particles permit the passage of electric current.

Explanation:

An electrolyte is a substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in a polar solvent, such as water. The dissolved electrolyte separates into wo kinds of ions; cations and anions, which disperse uniformly through the solvent. An electrolyte is simply seen as any substance that conducts electricity when dissolved in water. This definition of an electrolyte can further be simplified as a chemical compound that conducts electricity by changing into ions when melted or dissolved into a solution. An example of an electrolyte is molten or aqueous sodium chloride.

Hence in an electrolyte, the solute must allow the passage of electric current since the charge carries are produced when electricity causes the ionic compound to break apart in to its constituent ions. If the solute does not allow electricity to pass through it, its solution can not be an electrolyte.

Explain why the molar ratio is needed to determine the theoretical mass ratios.

choli [55]

Answer:

The overview of the subject is outlined underneath in the summary tab.

Explanation:

The molar ratio seems to be essentially a balanced chemical equilibrium coefficient that implies or serves as a conversion factor for the product-related reactants.
This ratio just says the reactant proportion which reacts, but not the exact quantity of the reacting product. Consequently, the molar ratio should only be used to provide theoretical instead of just a definite mass ratio.

What is the mass in grams of 9.45*10^24 molecules of methanol (CH3OH)?

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Number of moles:

1 mole ---------- 6.02x10²³ molecules
? moles --------- 9.45x10²⁴ molecules

1 x ( 9.45x10²⁴) / 6.02x10²³ =

9.45x10²⁴ / 6.02x10²³ => 15.69 moles of CH3OH

Therefore:

Molar mass CH3OH = 32.04 g/mol

1 mole ------------ 32.04 g
15.69 moles ----- mass methanol

Mass methanol = 15.69 x 32.04 / 1 => 502.7076 g

Paladinen [302]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Gaseous compound Q contains only xenon and oxygen. When a 0.100 g sample of Q is placed in a 50.0-mL steel vessel at 0°C, the pressure is 0.230 atm. What is the likely formula of the compound?

A. XeO

B. $XeO_4$

C. $Xe_2O_2$

D. $Xe_2O_3$

E. $Xe_3O_2$

<u>Answer:</u> The chemical formula of the compound is $XeO_4$

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molecular weight of the compound, we use the equation given by ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

Or,

$PV=\frac{w}{M}RT$

where,

P = Pressure of the gas = 0.230 atm

V = Volume of the gas = 50.0 mL = 0.050 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

w = Weight of the gas = 0.100 g

M = Molar mass of gas = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = Temperature of the gas = $0^oC=273K$

Putting value in above equation, we get:

$0.230\times 0.050=\frac{0.100}{M}\times 0.0821\times 273\\\\M=\frac{0.100\times 0.0821\times 273}{0.230\times 0.050}=194.9g/mol\approx 195g/mol$

The compound having mass as calculated is $XeO_4$

Hence, the chemical formula of the compound is $XeO_4$

The graph shows the volume of a gaseous product formed during two trials of a reaction. A different concentration of reactant wa

solniwko [45]

A: Trial 1, because the average rate of the reaction is lower.

The rate of reaction is the speed with which reactants are converted into products. It is also the rate at which reactants disappear and products appear. The higher the rate of reaction, the greater the amount of product formed in a reaction.

If we look at the graph, we will realize that trial 1 produces a lesser amount of product than trial 2. This implies that the average rate of the reaction in trial 1 is lower than in trial 2.

Lower average rate of reaction implies lower concentration of the reactants since the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of reactants.

Hence trial 1 has a lower concentration of reactants because the average rate of the reaction is lower.
