Answer:
The options are unclear, however, the correct option is:
Aqueous solutions of ionic compounds cause to dissociate, hence, ions are free to conduct electricity
Explanation:
Ionic compounds are compounds formed from ions (charged atoms). For example, NaCl is an ionic compound from the following ions; Na+ (cation) and Cl- (anion). One characteristics of ionic compounds is their ability to dissociate into the ions that form them when in an aqueous solution i.e. NaCl will dissociate into Na+ and Cl- when in an aqueous solution.
These disssociated ions are free to conduct electricity, hence, making ionic compounds good conductors of electricity.
No if you pass the rest you will not have to retake the credit trust me i know
Answer:
1) SO₄
²⁻ : (+6)
H₂S : (-2)
Explanation:
a) <u>Sulfate reducers</u> are widespread in muds and other sediments, water-logged soils, etc., environments that contain SO₄ ²⁻ and become anoxic as a result of microbial decomposition.
Sulfate (SO₄ ²⁻), the most oxidized form of sulfur (+6), <u>is reduced</u> by these
sulfate-reducing bacteria. The end product of sulfate reduction is hydrogen sulfide, H₂S, (oxidation number -2) an important natural product that participates in many biogeochemical processes. The H₂S they generate is responsible for the pungent smell (like that of rotten eggs) often encountered near coastal ecosystems. When sulfate-reducing bacteria grow, the H₂S formed from SO₄ ²⁻ reduction combines with the ferrous iron to form black, insoluble ferrous sulfide, which is not toxic. This is important for the conservation of the environment.
b) The net ionic equation under acidic conditions is:
4 H₂ + SO₄²⁻ + H⁺ → HS⁻ + 4 H₂O
Global reaction: SO₄²⁻ + 2H⁺ → H₂S + O₂
Answer:
B. A rate constant
Explanation:
The mathematical expression of rate law is given below,
Rate = K[A]m[B]n
This rate law show the relationship between the rate of chemical reaction and concentration of reactants.
In given equation [A] and [B] are molar concentration of reactants while K represent rate constant.
The value of K is specific for particular reaction at particular temperature,
m and n are represent exponents and determine experimentally. The value of K is not depend upon the concentrations of reactant but depend upon the surface area and temperature
