Mary could do two types of experiments

<em>Type 1</em>. She could <em>hold the cation constant and vary the anion</em>.

She could try solutions of NaCl, NaBr, NaI, Na₂SO₄, Na₃PO₄, etc.

These experiments would tell her which <em>anions</em> are the best conductors.

<em>Type </em>2. She could <em>hold the anion constant and vary the cation</em>.

She could try solutions of NaNO₃, KNO₃, Mg(NO₃)₂, Ca(NO₃)₂, Al(NO₃)₃, etc.

These experiments would tell her which <em>cations</em> are the best conductors.

How many moles of electrons are transferred when 2.0 moles of aluminum metal react with excess copper(II) nitrate in aqueous sol
mojhsa [17]

Moles of electrons:

The moles of electrons that are transferred are 12F

A balanced equation:

2 moles of Aluminium metal react with excess copper(II) nitrate.

2Al + 3Cu{(NO_3)}_2  \rightarrow 2Al{(NO_3)}_3 +3 Cu

Given:

Moles of Aluminium = 2

As Aluminium goes from 0 to +3 oxidation state

Al \rightarrow Al^{3+} + 3e^-

And copper goes from +2 to 0

Cu^{2+} + 2e^-\rightarrow Cu

On balancing the number of electrons we get:

For 1 mole of Al 6e^- is required.

Therefore for 2 moles of Al,

Total (2\times6)F mole of electrons

Where F= Faraday's constant= 96500 C

So, 12F moles of electrons are transferred.

A kernel of popcorn contains a small amount of water and when heated the popcorn pops. How can you explain this to someone
Aliun [14]
When you put a popcorn kernel in a microwave, the microwave heats up the water. The water then evaporates, and the air wants to escape. There will be so much pressure that the skin/shell of the kernel will break, exposing the corn.
