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.

g In the elimination reaction of t-butanol and t-butyl bromide. A. They have a common intermediate and require a strong base B.
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Both reactions share a common intermediate and differ only in the leaving group

Explanation:

The elimination reaction of tertiary alkyl halides usually occur by E1 mechanism. In E1 mechanism, the substrate undergoes ionization leading to the loss of a leaving group and formation of a carbocation.

Loss of a proton from the carbocation completes the reaction mechanism yielding the desired alkene.

In the cases of t-butanol and t-butyl bromide, the mechanism is the same. The both reactions proceed by E1 mechanism. The leaving groups in each case are water and chloride ion respectively.

How much heat is absorbed when 447 g of water , Cp = 4.184 J/goC, goes from 25.0 oC to 35.0 oC?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  Q = 18702.5 J

Explanation:

Data

mass of water = m = 447 g

Cp = 4.184 J/g°C

Temperature 1 = T1 = 25°C

Temperature 2 = T2 = 35°C

Heat = Q = ? Joules

Process

1.- Write the formula to calculate heat

    Q = mCp(T2 - T1)

2.- Substitution

    Q = (447)(4.184)(35 - 25)

3.- Simplification

    Q = (447)(4.184)(10)

4.- Result

    Q = 18702.5 J
