Covalent compounds do not conduct electric current in a water solution well because they do not dissociate into ions.
mariarad [96]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

A covalent compound is defined as a compound formed due to sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

As we know that like dissolves like. So, when a covalent compound is added to water then it will not dissociate into ions. Hence, it will not dissolve due to which it will not conduct electricity.

Since, we know that electricity is the flow of ions or electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that covalent compounds do not conduct electric current in a water solution well because they do not dissociate into ions.

What is the oh- in a solution with a poh of 5.71
Rudik [331]

Answer:- The hydroxide ion concentration of the solution is 1.95*10^-^6 .

Solution:- The formula used to calculate pOH from hydroxide ion is:

pOH=-log[OH^-]

When pOH is given and we are asked to calculate hydroxide ion concentration then we multiply both sides by negative sign and take antilog and what we get on doing this is:

[OH^-]=10^-^p^O^H

pOH is given as 5.71 and we are asked to calculate hydrogen ion concentration. Let's plug in the given value in the formula:

[OH^-]=10^-^5^.^7^1

[OH^-] = 0.00000195 or 1.95*10^-^6

So, the hydroxide ion concentration of the solution is 1.95*10^-^6 .

ΔG o for the reaction H2(g) + I2(g) ⇌ 2HI(g) is 2.60 kJ/mol at 25°C. Calculate ΔG o , and predict the direction in which the rea
kondaur [170]

Answer:

The reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction, but in the reverse direction.

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

H2(g) + I2(g) ⇌ 2HI(g)     ΔG° = 2.60 kJ/mol

Temperature = 25°C = 25+273 = 298 Kelvin

The initial pressures are:

pH2 = 3.10 atm

pI2 = 1.5 atm

pHI 1.75 atm

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate ΔG

ΔG = ΔG° + RTln Q  

with ΔG° = 2.60 kJ/mol

with R = 8.3145 J/K*mol

with T = 298 Kelvin

Q = the reaction quotient → has the same expression as equilibrium constant → in this case Kp = [p(HI)]²/ [p(H2)] [p(I2)]

with pH2 = 3.10 atm

pI2 = 1.5 atm

pHI 1.75 atm

Q = (3.10²)/(1.5*1.75)

Q = 3.661

ΔG = ΔG° + RTln Q  

ΔG = 2600 J/mol + 8.3145 J/K*mol * 298 K * ln(3.661)  

ΔG =5815.43 J/mol = 5.815 kJ/mol

To be spontaneous, ΔG should be <0.

ΔG >>0 so the reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction, but in the reverse direction.

• An element in group 2, period 4 has similar properties with
babymother [125]

Answer:  Elements in Group 2

Explanation:  The periodic table was arranged by Dmitri Mendeleev specifically  around similarites in their chemical behaviors.  He found that as atomic number increases, at some point an element starts to react in a manner similar to a previous one.  When that happened, he would place the larger element under the smaller one, and eventually noticed a periodicity in the table.  Elements in a column (Groups) had similiar chemical properties.  We know today that these similarities are due to the electron configuration, and that these configurations repeat themselves.  He left gaps in the table when he could find an existing element with properties similar to others in that group.  I big leap of faith, but it worked.  Elements for those missing boxes were eventually discovered.
