Answer:
As a result, electrolyte solutions readily conduct electricity. ... By contrast, if a compound dissociates to a small extent, the solution will be a weak conductor of electricity; ... Typically, nonelectrolytes are primarily held together by covalent rather than ionic bonds. ... Explain why some molecules do not dissolve in water.
Answer:
15.4%
Explanation:
If Ka = 0.54 mM = 1.51x10⁻⁵
Then;
C₄H₈O₂ --------> C₄H₇O₂⁻ + H⁺
I 0.54x10⁻³ 0 0
E 0.54x10⁻³(1-x) 0.54x10⁻³x 0.54x10⁻³x
Recall that x is the percentage degree of dissociation
From the ICE table;
Ka = [C₄H₇O₂⁻] [ H⁺]/[C₄H₈O₂]
1.51x10⁻⁵=(0.54x10⁻³x) (0.54x10⁻³x)/ 0.54x10⁻³(1-x)
1.51x10⁻⁵ = 0.54x10⁻³x^2/1-x
1.51x10⁻⁵(1-x) = 0.54x10⁻³x^2
1.51x10⁻⁵ - 1.51x10⁻⁵x = 0.54x10⁻³x^2
Hence;
0.54x10⁻³x^2 + 1.51x10⁻⁵x - 1.51x10⁻⁵=0
x^2 + 0.028x - 0.028 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation here;
x = 0.154 or −0.182
Ignoring the negative result, x = 0.154
Hence, fraction of butanoic acid that is in the dissociated form in this solution = 15.4%
Answer:
Methane
Explanation:
The gas that you could keep in an outdoor storage tank in winter in Alaska is Methane.
The reason is the extreme low temperature during the winter. The boiling point of butane is 44 ºF ( -1ºC) and that of propane is a higher -43.6 º F but still within the range of average minimum winter temperature in Alaska (-50 ªF). Therefore we will have condensation in the tanks and not enough gas pressure.
Methane having a boling point of -259 ºF will not condense at the low wintertime temperatures in Alaska.
Answer:
Temporary hardness is a type of water hardness caused by the presence of dissolved bicarbonate minerals (calcium bicarbonate and magnesium bicarbonate). ... However, unlike the permanent hardness caused by sulfate and chloride compounds, this "temporary" hardness can be reduced by boiling the water.
