Answer:

C) nonmetal

Explanation:

Given;

The sample is in liquid state and do not conduct electricity.

We have given four types of classification.So for first,

A) Ionic

Ionic compounds are found in solid state at room temperature and it conducts electricity when dissolved in water. Hence the sample could not be ionic.

B)Metal

Metals are found in solid state at room temperature  except mercury and it conducts electricity very well. Mercury also conducts electricity.So the sample is not a metal.

C)Nonmetal

Non metals are found in solid state  except bromine which is in liquid state  at room temperature and it does not conducts electricity.

Here the property of nonmetal matches with the sample, so the sample is a nonmetal and it could be Bromine.

D)Salt

Salt is an ionic compound  found in solid state at room temperature and it conducts electricity when dissolved in water. Hence the sample could not be salt.

Which equation best represents the dissociation of water molecules into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions?
Nikitich [7]

Answer is: H₂O → H⁺ + OH⁻.

Water dissociates (autoionization) to form hydrogen ions (H⁺) and hydroxide (OH⁻) ions. The protons (H⁺) hydrate as hydroxonium ions( H₃O⁺).

The Kw (the ionic product for water) at 25°C is 1·10⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶ or 1·10⁻¹⁴ M². Concentration of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in pure water are the same.

How many joules are needed to melt 50 g of ice at 0°C?
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

You need the Delta H fusion for water. Multiply that by 50 grams. Then multiply 50 g x 4.184 x 65 to get joules to raise water to 65 degrees. Add these values together to get total joules.
