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.

scoray [572]

Answer: With atomic number 20, calcium atoms have 20 positive protons, and the ion has only 18 electrons, which means the net charge is +2. Calcium ions are essential for muscle contractions, nerve impulses, and bone maintenance.

Consider the following reaction: A(g)⇌2B(g). Find the equilibrium partial pressures of A and B for each of the following differe
Illusion [34]

Answer:

a. Kp=1.4

P_{A}=0.2215 atm

P_{B}=0.556 atm

b.Kp=2.0 * 10^-4

P_{A}=0.495atm

P_{B}=0.00995 atm

c.Kp=2.0 * 10^5

P_{A}=5*10^{-6}atm

P_{B}=0.9999 atm

Explanation:

For the reaction  

A(g)⇌2B(g)

Kp is defined as:

Kp=\frac{(P_{B})^{2}}{P_{A}}

The conditions in the system are:

          A                    B

initial   0                1 atm

equilibrium x       1atm-2x

At the beginning, we don’t have any A in the system, so B starts to react to produce A until the system reaches the equilibrium producing x amount of A. From the stoichiometric relationship in the reaction we get that to produce x amount of A we need to 2x amount of B so in the equilibrium we will have 1 atm – 2x of B, as it is showed in the table.    

Replacing these values in the expression for Kp we get:

Kp=\frac{(1-2x)^{2}}{x}

Working with this equation:

x*Kp=(1-2x)^{2} - -> x*Kp=4x^{2}-4x+1- - >4x^{2}-(4+Kp)*x+1=0

This last expression is quadratic expression with a=4, b=-(4+Kp) and c=1

The general expression to solve these kinds of equations is:

x=\frac{-b(+-)*\sqrt{(b^{2}-4ac)}}{2a} (equation 1)

We just take the positive values from the solution since negative partial pressures don´t make physical sense.

Kp = 1.4

x_{1}=\frac{(1.4+4)+\sqrt{(-(1.4+4)^{2}-4*4*1)}}{2*4}=1.128

x_{1}=\frac{(1.4+4)-\sqrt{(-(1.4+4)^{2}-4*4*1)}}{2*4}=0.2215

With x1 we get a partial pressure of:

P_{A}=1.128 atm

P_{B}=1-2*1.128 = -1.256 atm

Since negative partial pressure don´t make physical sense x1 is not the solution for the system.

With x2 we get:

P_{A}=0.2215 atm

P_{B}=1-2*0.2215 = 0.556 atm

These partial pressures make sense so x2 is the solution for the equation.

We follow the same analysis for the other values of Kp.

Kp=2*10^-4

X1=0.505

X2=0.495

With x1

P_{A}=0.505atm

P_{B}=1-2*0.505 = -0.01005 atm

Not sense.

With x2

P_{A}=0.495atm

P_{B}=1-2*0.495 = 0.00995 atm

X2 is the solution for this equation.  

Kp=2*10^5

X1=50001

X2=5*10^{-6}

With x1

P_{A}=50001atm

P_{B}=1-2*50001=-100001atm

Not sense.

With x2

P_{A}= 5*10^{-6}atm

P_{B}=1-2*5*10^{-6}= 0.9999 atm

X2 is the solution for this equation.

Annette [7]

Answer: Zn(s)+CuSO_4(aq)\rightarrow ZnSO_4+Cu

Explanation:-

Single replacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution.

As zinc is more reactive than copper, it could easily displace copper from its aqueous solution and thus leads to formation of zinc (II) sulfate and pure copper.

The chemical reaction can be represented as :

Zn(s)+CuSO_4(aq)\rightarrow ZnSO_4+Cu

The phases are represented as (s) for solid sate, (l) for liquid state, (g) for gaseous state and (aq) for aqueous state.
