Explain why electrolyte solutions conduct electricity.

1 answer:

7 0

Electrolytes are substances that dissociates into ions when dissolved into water. These substances are known to conduct electricity because of the mobility of the positive and negative ions. The electrolytes are divided into acids, bases, or salts.

A 1.24g sample of a hydrocarbon, when completely burned in an excess of O2 yields 4.04g Co2 and 1.24g H20. Draw plausible struct

arsen [322]

Answer:

Plausible structure has been given below

Explanation:

Molar mass of $CO_{2}$ is 44 g/mol and molar mass of $H_{2}O$ is 18 g/mol
Number of mole = (mass/molar mass)

4.04 g of $CO_{2}$ = $\frac{4.04}{44}moles$ $CO_{2}$ = 0.0918 moles of $CO_{2}$

1 mol of $CO_{2}$ contains 1 mol of C atom

So, 0.0918 moles of $CO_{2}$ contains 0.0918 moles of C atom

1.24 g of $H_{2}O$ = $\frac{1.24}{18}moles$ $H_{2}O$ = 0.0689 moles of $H_{2}O$

1 mol of $H_{2}O$ contain 2 moles of H atom

So, 0.0689 moles of $H_{2}O$ contain $(2\times 0.0689)moles$ of $H_{2}O$ or 0.138 moles of $H_{2}O$

Moles of C : moles of H = 0.0918 : 0.138 = 2 : 3

Empirical formula of hydrocarbon is $C_{2}H_{3}$

So, molecular formula of one of it's analog is $C_{4}H_{6}$

Plausible structure of $C_{4}H_{6}$ has been given below.

In redox half-reactions, a more positive standard reduction potential means I. the oxidized form has a higher affinity for elect

qwelly [4]

Answer:

The 1st and 4th options are correct

I.the oxidized form has a higher affinity for electrons

IV. the greater the tendency for the oxidized form to accept electrons

Explanation:

Half reaction can be described as the oxidation or reduction reaction in a redox reaction.it is In the redox rection there is a change in the oxidation states of Chemical species involved. the oxidized form in the redox has a higher affinity for electrons and the greater the tendency for the oxidized form to accept electrons.

Standard reduction potential which is also referred to as standard cell potential can be described as the potential difference that exist between cathode and anode of the cell. In the standard reduction potential most times the species will be reduced which is usually analysed in a reduction half reaction.

(Standard Hydrogen Electrode) is utilized when determining the Standard reduction or potentials of a chemical specie. this is because of Hydrogen having zero reduction and oxidation potentials, as a result of this a measured potential of any species is compared with that of Hydrogen, the difference helps to know the potential reduction of that particular specie.

What is the ionic charge for C, Si, Ge, Sn and Pb?

Alecsey [184]

An atom of carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell, which means that
<span>its ionic charge is 4+ or 4-
</span>Si is in same group as carbon so its also 4+ or 4-
Germanium is 4+.
Sn is also 2+ or 4+
Pb is usually +2

Convert 1.25 atm to bar.

Tasya [4]

Answer: 1.27 bar

Explanation:

1 atm = 1.01325 bar

1.25 atm = Z (let Z be the unknown value)

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

Z x 1 atm = 1.25 atm x 1.01325 bar

1 atm•Z = 1.2665625 atm•bar

To get the value of Z, divide both sides by 1 atm

1 atm•Z/1 atm = 1.2665625 atm•bar/1atm

Z = 1.2665625 bar

(Round up Z to the nearest hundredth as 1.27 bar)

Thus, 1.25 atm when coverted gives 1.27 bar

. The compound Fe(NO3)3(s) is classified as a(n):?. a. polyatomic compound. b. molecular compound. c. ionic compound. d. multi-a

patriot [66]

<span>the best answer is C i.e is ionoic compound. but all other option sare quite close enough but option B is sure wrong. because A molecular compound does not separate in a solvent.</span>
