Explanation:
A non-electrolyte is defined as a solution which does not contain any ions and hence, it is unable to conduct electricity.
For example, when a non-polar substance like 
is dissolved in water then it will not dissociate into ions.
As electricity is the flow of ions or electrons. So, a non-electrolyte solution is not able to conduct electricity.
Similarly, a compound that is insoluble in water will not dissociate into ions. Hence, this type of solution will not be able to conduct electricity.
Answer:
Magnesium nucleus will attract the electrons more toward it and therefore, shrinking the size of the atom. Magnesium atom is smaller than Calcium atom because Calcium has more electron ( 20e− ) which will occupy more energy levels ( n=4 for Calcium versus n=3 for Magnesium)
The pond weeds are the producers because they are a plant
Answer:
The structure with the ring flipped is the most stable
Explanation:
We have the trans 1,2 - dimethylcyclohexane. With the wedge/dash structure we could not figure is this form is stable (If we do a comparison with the cis structure). But when we do a chair structure and ring flipped structure, this is easier to look.
The picture attached shows the structures, they are labeled as 1, 2 and 3, according to this problem.
In the chair structure, according to the picture below, you can see that both methyls are heading in the axial positions of the ring (One facing upward and the other downward). This is pretty stable, however, when the methyls are in those positions, the methyl position 1, can undergoes an 1,3 diaxial interactions with the hydrogens atoms (They are not drawn, but still are there), so this interaction makes this structure a little less stable that it can be.
On the other side, the ring flipped structure, we can see that both methyls are in the equatorials positions of the ring, and in these positions, it can avoid the 1,4 diaxial interactions with the hydrogens atoms, making this structure the most stable structure.
Hope this helps
Let us assume that there is a 100g sample of Opal. The masses of each element will be:
29.2g Si
33.3g O
37.5g H2O
Now we divide each constituent's mass by its Mr to get the moles present
Si: (29.2 / 28) = 1.04
O: (33.3 / 16) = 2.08
H2O: (37.5 / 18) = 2.08
Now we divide by the smallest number and obtain:
Si: 1
O: 2
H2O: 2
Thus, the empirical formula of Opal is:
SiO2 . 2H2O
