Classify each of these soluble solutes as a strong electrolyte, a weak electrolyte, or a nonelectrolyte. solutes formula hydroio
Andreyy89
The correct classification of the solutes are as follows:

<span>hydroiodic acid hi                           =   strong electrolyte
calcium hydroxide ca(oh)2             =   weak electrolyte 
hydrofluoric acid hf                         =   weak electrolyte
methyl amine ch3nh2                     =   weak electrolyte
sodium bromide nabr                     =   strong electrolyte
propanol c3h7oh                            =   non electrolyte
sucrose c12h22o11                        =   non electrolyte

Strong electrolytes are substances that completely ionizes in aqueous solution while weak electrolytes are those that partially ionizes. Non electrolytes are substances that cannot conduct electric charge since there are no ions in the solution.</span>

In a certain chemical reaction, 2 solid Mg atoms bond with O2 gas to produce solid
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Option B. 2Mg(s) + O2 (g) —> 2MgO (s)

Explanation:

From the question given above,

We were told that:

2 solid Mg atoms bond with O2 gas to produce solid MgO.

This can be represented by an equation as follow:

2Mg(s) + O2 (g) —> MgO (s)

Next, we shall balance the above equation as follow:

2Mg(s) + O2 (g) —> MgO (s)

There are 2 atoms of Mg on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of MgO as shown below:

2Mg(s) + O2 (g) —> 2MgO (s)

Now, the equation is balanced.

how many grams of silver medal could be recovered from a reaction of 50 g silver nitrate and copper metal
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Answer is: mass of copper is 127 grams.

Balanced chemical reaction: Cu(s) + 2AgNO₃(aq) → Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2Ag(s).

m(Ag) = 432 g.

n(Ag) = m(Ag) ÷ M(Ag).

n(Ag) = 432 g ÷ 108 g/mol.

n(Ag) = 4 mol.

From chemical reaction: n(Ag) : n(Cu) = 2 : 1.

n(Cu) = 4 mol ÷ 2 = 2 mol.

m(Cu) = n(Cu) · M(Cu).

m(Cu) = 2 mol · 63.5 g/mol.

m(Cu) = 127 g

Li Ming thinks that chlorophyll is a reactant of photosynthesis, but her classmate Julian disagrees. Who is correct, and why?
Eddi Din [679]

Julian is correct because chlorophyll is neither used up nor formed in the chemical reaction of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Julian is correct because chlorophyll is neither used up nor formed in the chemical reaction of photosynthesis. The reactants in photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

  • Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants manufacture their food in the presence of sunlight.
  • In photosynthesis carbon dioxide combines with water to produce glucose and oxygen.
  • Chlorophyll in plant is a green pigment that is used to trap sunlight during photosynthesis.

Verizon [17]

Answer:

D) 0.9 L

Explanation:

At constant temperature,

PV = Constant

so,

P1.V1 = P2. V2

101 × 2.1 = 235 × V2

V2 = 0.9 L
