Covalent solutes are considered non-electrolytes. What does this mean for the conductivity of the solution? A) Non-electrolytes

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When a chemical compound dissociates into ions in a solution then the resulting solution is known as electrolyte.
For example, HCl dissolved in water will act as an electrolyte.
And, when a chemical compound does not dissociate into ions when dissolved in a solvent then the resulting solution is known as a non-electrolyte.
For example, in water will act as a non-electrolyte.
As a non-electrolyte does not contains ions therefore, they do not conduct electricity. Also, covalent compounds do not dissociate into ions when dissolved in water.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement non-electrolytes do not dissolve in water and can not conduct electricity, is true.

Answer:
Q = 0.50
No
Left
Explanation:
At a generic reversible equation
aA + bB ⇄ cC + dD
The reaction coefficient (Q) is the ratio of the substances concentrations:
Solids and liquid water are not considered in this calculus.
When the reaction achieves equilibrium (concentrations are constant), the Q value is named as Kc, which is the equilibrium constant of the reaction. If Q > Kc, it indicates that the concentration of the products is higher, so, the reaction must progress to the left and form more reactants; if Q < Kc, than the concentrations of the reactants, are higher, so, the reaction progress to the right.
In this case:
Q =
Q = 0.50
So, Q > Kc, the reaction is not at equilibrium and it progresses to the left.
