Answer:

Compounds like Nacl(sodium chloride) dissolves in water to form an electrolytes.

Explanation:

Sodium chloride (Nacl) is an ionic compound . This means it has both cations and anions . The kind of bonding present in this compound is an electrovalent bonding which means there is a transfer of electron .

If sodium chloride is dissolve in water (H2O), the water molecules will dissociate the ions present in sodium chloride. The positive ion(cations) Na+ , will be surrounded by the partially negative oxygen ion(O2-) while the negative ion(anions) Cl- will be surrounded by the partially positive hydrogen ion(H+). Base on the partially charge nature of water it will require more oxygen ion to surround the strongly positive sodium ion and more hydrogen ion to surround the strongly negative chlorine.

Some of these ions are left behind and this what causes the conductive nature of this compound in water. Ionic compound like Nacl dissolves in water to form an electrolytes.

On addition to water the Na+ section of NaCl is attracted to the oxygen side of the water molecules, while the Cl- side is attracted to the hydrogens' side of the water molecule. This causes the sodium chloride to split in water, and the NaCl dissolves into separate Na+ and Cl- atoms.

If the caffeine concentration in a particular brand of soda is 2.01 mg/oz, drinking how many cans of soda would be lethal? assum

dedylja [7]

1 can of soda has 12 ounces * 2.01 mg/oz = 24.12 mg of caffeine.

1 gram = 1000 mg

10 grams x 1000 mg = 10,000 mg

Divide total mg by mg per can:

10,000 / 24.12 = 414.59 cans

Round to 415 cans

Which of the following transition is considered the phase change from water to steam?

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

the transition from water to steam is call evaporation.

Explanation:

water evaporates or vaporizes and turns into steam this typically happens when heat meets with the water. an example would be if you boil water steam will release from the pot, or when it rains, snows, etc (precipitation) the water evaporates and the ground dries.

Which statement best describes how an electromagnetic motor works?

inn [45]

Answer:

Electrons are moved through a magnet, creating a current. That current interacts with a circuit, moving the conductor in the orientation of the field.

Explanation:

Electro magnetic fields are used to create electric current by the movement of electrons. When a coil of wire is wrapped around a magnet it pushes electrons and they flow through a magnet to create current. This current interacts with circuit to move conductor.

What tpye of stress results when two tectonic plates diverge

PtichkaEL [24]

Tensional Stress. Tensional stress, sometimes known as extensional stress, stretches and pulls rocks apart. This type of stress occurs along divergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates are tearing away from one another.

The formation of large molecules from small repeating units is known as what kind of reaction? Oxidation reduction condensation

natka813 [3]

Answer:

The formation of large molecules from small repeating units is known as Condensation reactions.

Explanation:

Those reactions in which two molecules join together with a elimination of small neutral molecule like H₂O, CH₃OH, HCl e.t.c are known as condensation reactions.

Polymerization reactions are those reactions in which small molecules called as monomers join together to form a large molecule also known as polymers. These reactions are done via different mechanisms among which one is the condensation reaction.

Example:

Proteins (polymer) are made up of amino acids (monomers) through condensation reaction as,

n H₂N-RH-COOH → H₂N-[-RH]n-COOH + n H₂O

In above equation "n" represent large number, H₂N-RH-COOH represent amino acid (monomer) and H₂N-[-RH]n-COOH represent protein (polymer). While, the H₂O eliminated is the small neutral molecule.
