Because the ions forming the compound will have to separate from each other then. As a result, ionic compounds disintigrated into a myriad of single lonely ions floating free in water (in solutions). The process is known as electrolytic dissociation.

Eletric current is co-directed movement of particles exhibiting similar charge.

Water doesn't have charged particles constituting it. No electricity.

Ionic compounds do have charged particles (i.e. ions), but those are locked within the lattice and cannot move. No electricity.

Ionic compounds in water disintegrate into free floating (capable of moving) ions (charged particles). All you have to do is get all the positive charges moving one way and all the negative ones moving the other and here you have it - electricity! That is achieved through applying external magnetic field.

This is why ionic compunds can conduct electricity when dissolved in water or melted.

What volume of solution gives the desired moles?
motikmotik

Answer:

1. 0.073L

2. 0.028L

3. 0.014L

Explanation:

The volume for the different solutions are obtained as shown below:

1. Mole = 0.53mol

Molarity = 7.25M

Volume =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 0.53/7.25

Volume = 0.073L

2. 0.035mol from a 1.25M

Mole = 0. 035mol

Molarity = 1.25M

Volume =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 0.035/1.25

Volume = 0.028L

3. Mole = 0.0013mol

Molarity = 0.090M

Volume =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 0.0013/0.090

Volume = 0.014L

A balanced equation for the dissociation of KI
Ann [662]

Answer:

The balanced equation for the dissociation of KI is

KI →  K⁺ + I⁻

Explanation:

KI is the potassium iodide.

K⁺ comes from the KOH, a strong base, so the cation is the conjugate weak acid and in water it does not react.

I⁻ comes from HI, a strong acid, so the anion is the conjugate weak base and in water it does not react.

K⁻  + H₂O ← KOH + H⁺

I⁻ + H₂O ← HI + OH⁻

That's why the arrow in the reaction is in the opposite direction.
