Copper is used in household wiring because it is a good conductor of electricity and heat. Since conductors have low resistance, therefore copper has low resistance too.

Your answer is: Good conductor or electricity and heat

The reaction for the formation of gaseous hydrogen fluoride (HF) from molecular hydrogen (H2) and fluorine (F2) has an equilibri
mestny [16]

Answer:

[H2]eq = 0.0129 M

[F2]eq = 1.0129 M

[HF]eq = 0.9871 M

Explanation:

  • H2(g) + F2(g) ↔ 2HF(g)

∴ Ke = [HF]² / [H2]*[F2] = 1.15 E2

experiment:

∴ n H2 = 3.00 mol

∴ n F2 = 6.00 mol

∴ V sln = 3.00 L

⇒ [H2]i = 3.00 mol / 3.00 L = 1 M

⇒ [F2]i = 6.00 mol / 3.00 L = 2 M

        [ ]i    change      [ ]eq

H2     1         1 - x         1 - x

F2     2        2 - x         2 - x

HF     -            x              x

⇒ K = (x)² / (1 - x)*(2 - x) = 1.15 E2

⇒ x² / (2 - 3x + x²) = 1.15 E2 = 115

⇒ x² = (2 - 3x + x²)(115)

⇒ x² = 230 - 345x + 115x²

⇒ 0 = 230 - 345x + 114x²

⇒ x = 0.9871

equilibrium:

⇒ [H2] = 1 - x = 1 - 0.9871 = 0.0129 M

⇒ [F2] = 2 - x = 2 - 0.9871 = 1.0129 M

⇒ [HF] = x = 0.9871 M

Why is NH3 soluble in H20 but NCl3 is not?
storchak [24]
NH3 is soluble in water because it has the same amount of intermolecular forces as water. NH3 is a polar molecule and water  is a polar molecule so they dissolve each other. NCl3 does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar molecule which is different with water. NCl3 is nonpolar due to the difference in electronegativities between 3 atoms of Cl and 1 atom if N2.

What is an ionic bond
Pani-rosa [81]
Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.
