A white crystalline salt conducts electricity when it is melted and when it dissolves in water.

Chemistry

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Ionic salts are defined as the salts which tend to contain ionic bonds as there occurs transfer of electrons between its combining atoms.

So, when an ionic salt melts or it is dissolved in water then it will dissociate into its respective ions and as electricity is the flow of electrons or ions. Hence, this salt is then able to conduct electricity.

As covalent compounds are insoluble in water so, they do no dissociate into ions. Hence, they do not conduct electricity.

Similarly, metallic and network solids do not dissociate into ions either when melted or dissolved in water. Therefore, they also do not conduct electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that when a white crystalline salt conducts electricity when it is melted and when it dissolves in water then this bond is of ionic type.

In a synthesis reaction you start with 1.7L of Hydrogen how many liters of water will be produced?
jolli1 [7]

15.3 litres of water will be produced if we take 1.7 litres of Hydrogen

Explanation:

Let's take a look over synthesis reaction;

H_{2}+ O_{2}<u>                         </u>H_{2}O<u />

<u>Balancing the chemical reaction;</u>

2H_{2} +O_{2}<u>                        </u>2H_{2}O<u />

Thus, 2 moles of hydrogen molecules are required to form 2 moles of water molecules.

<u>Equating the molarity;</u>

<u />\frac{1.7*1}{2*2} = \frac{x*1}{2*18}

           (Since, the molecular mass of hyd and water is 2 and 18 respectively)

x=\frac{1.7*2*18}{2*2}

x= 15.3 litres.

Thus,15.3 L of water will be produced if we take 1.7 litres of Hydrogen in a synthesis reaction.

A 1.59 mol sample of Kr has a volume of 641 mL. How many moles of Kr are in a 4.41 L sample at the same temperature and pressure
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is 10.939 mol ≅ 10.94 mol

Explanation:

According to Avogadro's gases law, the number of moles of an ideal gas (n) at constant pressure and temperature, is directly proportional to the volume (V).

For the initial gas (1), we have:

n₁= 1.59 mol

V₁= 641 mL= 0.641 L

For the final gas (2), we have:

V₂: 4.41 L

The relation between 1 and 2 is given by:

n₁/V₁ = n₂/V₂

We calculate n₂ as follows:

n₂= (n₁/V₁) x V₂ = (1.59 mol/0.641 L) x 4.41 L = 10.939 mol ≅ 10.94 mol

How many grams of water can be produced when 11.7 moles of ethane (C2H6) react with excess oxygen gas?
Elina [12.6K]

Answer: 631.8 g

Explanation:

2C_2H_6+7O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+6H_2O

It can be seen from the balanced chemical equation, 2 moles of ethane reacts with 7 moles of Oxygen gas to produce 4 moles of carbon dioxide and 6 moles of water.

Ethane is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product.

Thus, if  2 moles of ethane produce 6 moles of water.

11.7 moles moles of ethane produce=\frac{6}{2}\times 11.7=35.1 molesof water.

Mass of water= no of moles\times Molar mass

Mass of water= 35.1\times 18g/mol= 631.8 g
