Is C8H18 an electrolyte or non-electrolyte

Chemistry
1 answer:
podryga [215]2 years ago
4 0

C₈H₁₈ is a non-electrolyte

Why?

Electrolytes are substances that dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. In order to do that, they need to have bonds that are polar enough to be able to dissociate, and the ions formed need to be soluble in water.

C₈H₁₈ is a compound that has a low electronegativity difference between its atoms, making it to be a covalent compound where electrons are shared, and making it non-polar, and difficult to dissociate. Thus, it is a non-electrolyte.

One possible structure for C₈H₁₈ is attached below. It's called octane.

Have a nice day!

Which atom in the ground state has a partially filled second electron shell?
serious [3.7K]
Atoms have electrons filled in energy shells.
1. H - hydrogen atom has one electron in the First energy shell. Therefore hydrogen has a partially filled first energy shell

2.Li - Li electron configuration is 2,1
The outermost energy shell is the second energy shell in which there is only one electron
Therefore the second energy shell is partially filled. This is the correct answer

3. K - electron configuration is 2,8,8,1
The outermost energy shell is the fourth energy shell which is partially filled. The second energy shell is completely filled

4.Na - electron configuration is 2,8,1
The outermost energy shell is the third energy shell which is partially filled
Second energy shell is completely filled

From the given options Li is the only element with a partially filled second energy shell
Answer is Li

a sample of 25.0g of an unknown metal is added to 25.0ml of water in a graduated cylinder and the final volume is 28.5ml what is
leva [86]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 7.14 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question

mass of metal = 25 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 28.5 - 25 = 3.5 mL

It's density is

density =  \frac{25}{3.5}  \\  = 7.142857...

We have the final answer as

<h3>7.14 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

What is the acceleration of a 50kg object pushed with a force of 500 Newton’s
olasank [31]

Answer:

<h2>10 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m} \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{500}{50}  =  \frac{50}{5}  = 10 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>10 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
