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.

Determine the empirical formula for a compound that contains 48.6%C, 8.2% H, and 43.2% S by mass.
vagabundo [1.1K]

The empirical formula for a compound that contains 48.6%C, 8.2% H, and 43.2% S by mass is C_3H_6S.

<h3>What is the empirical formula?</h3>

An empirical formula tells us the relative ratios of different atoms in a compound.

We need to calculate the number of moles

Number of a mole of carbon =

48.6 g X (\frac{1 mole }{ 12.0107 g}) =4.05 mole

Number of a mole of hydrogen =

8.2g X (\frac{1 mole}{.00784g}) =8.14 mole

Number of moles of sulphur =

43.2g X (\frac{ mole}{32.065g}) = 1.35 mole

Dividing each mole using the smallest number that is divided by 1.35 moles.

Carbon= \frac{4.05 mole }{1.35 mole} =3

Oxygen= \frac{8.14 mole}{1.35 mole} =6

Sulfur= \frac{1.35 mole}{1.35 mole} =1

Empirical formula is C_3H_6S

What is the potential energy of 25kg rock sitting on the cliff with a height of 230m?​
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

<h2>57,500 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 25 × 10 × 230 = 57,500

We have the final answer as

<h3>57,500 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

The density of human blood is 1.06g/ml the volume is 5.5l what is the mass in kg
kondor19780726 [428]

The mass of the blood is 5.8 kg.

<em>V</em> = 5.5 L = 5500 mL

Mass = 5500 mL × (1.06 g/1 mL) = 5800 g = 5.8 kg
