Why are solutions of acids and bases often good conductors of electricity?

1 answer:

5 0

Solutions of acids and bases are good conductors of electricity because they are capable carrying current. Solutions of such substances have ions in the solution which can carry current through out the solution. Hope this answers the question.

Answer:

The atomic number equals the charge on the nucleus. It therefore also equals the number of protons in the nucleus and also equals numerically the number of electrons in the neutral atom. The atomic number has the symbol Z.

An ordered list of chemical substances is shown.

alina1380 [7]

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 2, 4 and 5.

Explanation :

Combustion reaction : It is a type of reaction in which a hydrocarbon react with an oxygen molecule to give carbon dioxide, water as a product.

For example : Methane react with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$

In the given list of chemical substances, $CuO,Cu_2O,Li_2O$ are in oxide form. They can not be both reactant and product of a single combustion reaction.

In the given list, $C_2H_5NH_2$ is the only hydrocarbon which shows a combustion reaction. That means $C_2H_5NH_2$ react with $O_2$ to give $CO_2,H_2O$ and $N_2$ as a product.

The balanced combustion reaction of $C_2H_5NH_2$ is,

$20C_2H_5NH_2+40O_2\rightarrow 40CO_2+7H_2O+10N_2$

Therefore, the correct answer is, (C) 2, 4, and 5.

"A crosslinked copolymer consists of 57 wt% ethylene (C2H4) repeat units and 43 wt% propylene (C3H6) repeat units. Determine the

ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

Percentage ethylene by weight = 57%

Percentage propylene by weight = 43%

Suppose in 100 grams of polymer:

Mass of ethylene = 57 g

Mass of propylene = 43 g

Moles of ethylene = $\frac{57 g}{28 g/mol}=2.036 mol$

Moles of propylene = $\frac{43g}{42g/mol}=1.024 mol$

1 mole = $N_A =6.022\times 10^{23}$ molecules/ atoms

Units of ethylene = $2.036 mol\times N_A$

Units of propylene = $1.024 mol\times N_A$

a) Fraction of ethylene units:

$=\frac{2.036 mol\times N_A}{2.306 mol\times N_A+1.024 mol\times N_A}=\frac{509}{765}$

b ) Fraction of propylene units:

$=\frac{1.024mol\times N_A}{2.306 mol\times N_A+1.024 mol\times N_A}=\frac{256}{765}$

How does the amount of carbon dioxide affect the rate of photosynthesis?

swat32

Answer:

An increase in the carbon dioxide concentration increases the rate at which carbon is incorporated into carbohydrate in the light-independent reaction, and so the rate of photosynthesis generally increases until limited by another factor.
