A 0.10 M aqueous solution of sodium sulfate, Na2SO4, is a better conductor of electricity than a 0.10 M aqueous solution of sodi
um chloride, NaCl. Which of the following best explains this observation?
1 answer:
Answer:
More moles of ions are present in a given volume of 0.10 M Na₂SO₄ than in the same volume of 0.10 M NaCl.
Explanation:
The question is complete and clear, however the wording suggests that this is a multiple-choice question. An example of the answer options is found in the annexed picture.
In the case of the picture, the answer is d. This is because 1 mol of Na₂SO₄, when dissolved in water, produces 3 moles of ions, two Na⁺ ions and one SO₄⁻² ion. While 1 mol of NaCl under the same conditions produces only two moles of ions. One Na⁺ and one Cl⁻.

<h3>What is an ideal gas equation?</h3>The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) relates the macroscopic properties of ideal gases. An ideal gas is a gas in which the particles (a) do not attract or repel one another and (b) take up no space (have no volume).
Using equation PV=nRT, where n is the moles and R is the gas constant. Then divide the given mass by the number of moles to get molar mass.
Given data:
P= 3.00 atm
V= ?
n=0.205 mole
R=
T=200 K
Putting value in the given equation:
V= 1.1214 mL
