More valence electrons and larger atomic radius are facts most suitable for increasing the electrical conductivity of metals.
Alex17521 [72]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

A substance is able to conduct electricity if it has or contains free electrons.

This also means that larger is the atomic radius of a metal lesser will the force of attraction between its nucleus and valence electrons. As a result, it can easily lose its valence electrons.

Therefore, availability of free electrons is easy in that case.

Also, more is the number of valence electrons a metal contains more is the number of electrons participating in conducting electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that a combination of more valence electrons and larger atomic radius factors is most suitable for increasing the electrical conductivity of metals.

A sample with a molar mass of 34.00 g/mol is found to consist of 5.9783% Hydrogen and 94.0217% oxygen. Find it’s molecular formu
kozerog [31]

Answer:

The formula is H202 (hydrogen peroxide, known as hydrogen peroxide)

Explanation:

100%----34g

5, 9783%---X= (5, 9783%x 34g)/100% =2 g

1g---1 atom of H

2g----x= 2g x 1 atom of H/1g = 2 atom of H

100%----34g

94, 0217%---X= (94,0217%x 34g)/100% =32 g

16g---1 atom of 0

32g----x= 32g x 1 atom of 0/16g = 2 atom of 0

What is the molarity of a solution composed
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

0.0845 M

Explanation:

First we <u>convert 4.27 grams of potassium iodide into moles</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • Molar Mass of KI = 166 g/mol
  • 4.27 g ÷ 166 g/mol = 0.0257 mol

Now we <u>calculate the molarity of the solution</u>, using <em>the number of moles and the given volume</em>:

  • Molarity = moles / liters
  • Molarity = 0.0257 mol / 0.304 L = 0.0845 M
