Is C8H18 an electrolyte or non-electrolyte

Chemistry

podryga [215]3 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!

ozzi

Answer: gas molecules will hit the container walls more frequently and with greater force

Explanation:

According to the postulates of  kinetic molecular theory:

1. The pressure exerted by a gas in a container results from collisions between the gas molecules and the container walls.

2. The average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is proportional to the kelvin temperature of the gas.

When the temperature is increased, so the average kinetic energy and the rms speed also increase. This means that the gas molecules will hit the container walls more frequently and with greater force because they are all moving faster. This increase the pressure.

Which one of the following atoms has the largest radius? Ова Осо OCa
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Ba

Explanation:

<u>The elements  Calcium ( Ca ) and Cobalt ( Co ) , are both present in the same period , and across the period the atomic radius decreases from left to right , since , the atomic number increases , so the electrons increases , which in turns increases the effective nuclear charge , and hence the size decreases , </u>

Therefore ,

Calcium will have bigger atomic radii as compared to Cobalt .

Now,

<u>The elements Barium ( Ba ) and Calcium ( Ca ) are , both are present in the same group , and down the group , atomic radii increases , since , as going down the group , the atomic number increase , so the shells increases , hence the size increases .</u>

Therefore , the atom with the largest radii is Barium .

Uranium-235 has a half-life of 713 million years. Would uranium-235 or carbon-14 be more useful for dating a fossil from Precamb
9966 [12]
Answer: Uranium-235.

Radioactive isotopes are used to determine the age of antique objects, including fossils.

The half-life time of the radioactive elements is what permits the process of dating.

The half-life of C-14 is too short to be useful to date too old objects.

Precambrian time is the most antique era. C-14 hal-life is about 5730 years and Precambrian time is millions or billions of years ago. Given that the hal-life of U-235 is 704 million years it is appropiate to date the fossils from the Precambrian era.

A biochemical reaction will proceed in the direction as written if:_______a. ΔG &gt; 0.b. ΔH &gt; 0.c. ΔG = zero.d. ΔG &lt; 0.e.
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

ΔG < 0

Explanation:

The condition for spontaneity of a chemical reaction is that ∆G<0. Hence for any biochemical reaction to proceed as written, ∆G must have a negative value.

If ∆G >0, the reaction is not spontaneous and will not proceed as written. ∆G=0 means that the reaction has attained equilibrium.
