Why cant (NaCl) light the bulb until the NaCl is dissolved in water. *
Aneli [31]

Answer:

NaCl will only conduct electricity in solutions

Explanation:

For electrical conduction, free mobile electrons as seen in most metals must be present or ions which are charged particles must be available for solutions and molten substances.

  • Sodium chloride is an ionic compound without free mobile electrons or ions despite being ionic.
  • It will maintain a subtle and unique charge stability when in solid form.
  • In solid, the ions are not free to move and remain locked up in the solid mass.
  • When introduced into a solution, the ions becomes free to move and this will aid electrical conduction.

Two protons and two neutrons are released as a result of this reaction.
Murljashka [212]

<u>Answer:</u> The particle released in the given reaction is one alpha particle

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

For the given fission reaction:

^{222}_{86}\textrm{Rn}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{X}+^{218}_{84}\textrm{Po}

  • <u>To calculate A:</u>

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

222 = A + 218

A = 4

  • <u>To calculate Z:</u>

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

86 = Z + 84

Z = 2

The isotopic symbol of unknown element is _{2}^{4}\textrm{He}. Another name of helium atom is alpha particle.

Hence, the particle released in the given reaction is one alpha particle

The heat of vaporization of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is 197.8 J/g. How much energy is absorbed by 1.35 mol CCl4 when it vapor
const2013 [10]

Energy absorbed from changing the phase of a substance from the liquid phase to gas phase can be calculated by using the specific latent heat of vaporization. Calculation are as follows:

 

<span> Energy = 1.35 mol  CCl4 ( 153.81 g / 1 mol ) x 197.8 J/g </span>

 

<span>Energy = 41071.88 J</span>
