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.

Antarctica, almost completely covered in ice, has an area

Marysya12 [62]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of ice is $2.39\times 10^{22}g$

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Area of Antarctica = $5,500,000mi^2=5,500,000\times 2.59\times 10^{10}=142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2$ (Conversion factor: $1mi^2=2.59\times 10^{10}cm^2$ )

Height of Antarctica with ice = 7500 ft.

Height of Antarctica without ice = 1500 ft.

Height of ice = 7500 - 1500 = 6000 ft = $182.88\times 10^3cm$ (Conversion factor: 1 ft = 30.48 cm)

To calculate mass of ice, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}$

We are given:

Density of ice = $0.917g/cm^3$

Volume of ice = Area × Height of ice = $142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2\times 182.88\times 10^3cm=26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.917g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of ice}}{26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of ice}=(0.917g/cm^3\times 26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3=2.39\times 10^{22}g$

Hence, the mass of ice is $2.39\times 10^{22}g$

Explain the volume of ideal gasses as related to the molar concept.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

n = Initial volume/22.4L

Explanation:

The molar concept is simply one that is used to find the Number of moles and explain the relationship it has with avogadro's number, molecular mass, molar mass e.t.c.

Now, in terms of molar mass, number of moles is given by the formula;

n = mass of the sample/molar mass

In terms of avogadro's number, number of moles is;

1 mole = avogadro's number = 6.02 × 10^(23)

Now, when dealing with ideal gases, the molar volume of an ideal gas is 22.4 L.

Now the relationship between this volume and the mole concept is that the number of moles is gotten by dividing the initial volume by this molar volume.

Thus;

n = Initial volume/22.4L
