The bulb lights up in the circuit. Only two rods are conductors of electricity. Which one of the rods, X, Y or Z is definitely a

conductor of electricity? Explain why.​

Answer: Rod X.

Explanation:

Ok, the electricity starts in the top left part. First, it must travel in the X rod, then it keeps traveling until it reaches the parallel path, and it can go to the Z rod, to the Y rod, or to both of them, and then it reaches the bulb (the circle with a X inside of it).

We know that two rods are conductors of electricity.

Now, suppose the case where rods Z and Y are the ones that conduct electricity, this means that X does not conduct electricity, then when the current reaches to X it stops (because X does not conduct) then the electricity never reaches the rods Z and Y, and then the electricity never reaches the bulb, but we know that the bulb lights up, so we must have that X is one of the conducting rods.

Then, if for example, Y does not conduct electricity, the electricity still can run through the Z rod and eventually reach the bulb.

So we can conclude that the rod that is definitely a conductor of electricity is rod X

The reaction of 5.40 g of carbon with excess O2 yields 13.6 g of CO2. What is the percent yield of this reaction?
vazorg [7]
C + O2= CO2
n  =  \frac{m}{mw}
n =  \frac{5.4}{12}  \\ n  = 0.45 \: mol \: of \: carbon
n =  \frac{13.6}{12 + 16 \times 2} \\ n =  \frac{13.6}{44}  \\ n = 0.31 \: mol \: of \: carbon \: dioxide
CO2 is limit
5.4-3.72= 1.68 g of C is excess
5.4 g = 100%
3.72 g = x
x=68.9 %

(a)kcl ionic (b)p4 nonpolar covalent (c)bf3 nonpolar covalent (d)so2 nonpolar covalent (e)br2 nonpolar covalent (f)no2 nonpolar
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Because K and Cl have such a large disparity in their electronegativities, KCl is a bipolar ionic molecule.

<h3>What exactly are polar and nonpolar bonds?</h3>

Polar covalent bonds develop when the distribution of electrons among atoms is uneven, whereas nonpolar side chains develop when the distribution of electrons is more even. The reason for the unequal sharing of electrons is because the atoms receiving them have various electronegativities.

<h3>How are polar bonds created?</h3>

Whenever a single pair of electrons is not shared equally, a polar molecule bond is created. This is caused by the electronegativity difference between the two elements. An unit of h as well as an unit of bromine share a pair of electrons, but not evenly.

What would happen if hydrogen and nitrogen combine?
Tanzania [10]
<span>At room temperature and atmospheric pressure, nothing happens when the two gasses are mixed. However, at high temperature and pressure (450C, 200atm), in the presence of an iron oxide catalyst, the production of ammonia is thermodynamically advantageous.</span>
