Answer:

Explanation:

Water is a conductor if it has solutes/ions dissolved in it(tapwater for example)

but pure water is not a good conductor of electricity.

Nails and keychains(made of metal) are conductors of electricity.

The total pressure of a confined mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures of each of the gases in the mixture. This is known

olganol [36]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is also known as the Dalton’s law of partial pressure. Given a confinement that contains a mixture of gases which do not mix, the total pressure equals the sum of the individual pressures.

The term, which do not mix is necessary because, if the gases are the type that mix, the law will no longer hold as they would have given up their individual identities and hence their individual partial pressure cannot be use to access them anymore.

Hence, the law helps to sum the totality of the pressures of a number of gases which exists together in a confinement and they do not mix. Say we have 3 gases A, B and C. The total pressure is the sum of pressure A, pressure B and pressure C.

If a pharmacist adds 10 ml of purified water to 30 ml of a solution having a specific gravity of 1.30, calculate the specific gr

xxMikexx [17]

The specific gravity of a sample is the ratio of the density of the sample with respect to one standard sample. The standard sample used in specific gravity calculation is water whose density is 1 g/mL. The solution having specific gravity 1.30 is the density of the sample that is 1.30 g/mL. Thus the weight of the 30 mL sample is (30×1.30) = 39 g.

Now the mass of the 10 mL of water is 10 g as density of water is 10 g/mL. Thus after addition the total mass of the solution is (39 + 10) = 49g and the volume is (30 + 10) = 40 mL. Thus the density of the mixture will be $\frac{49}{40}=1.225$ g/mL. Thus the specific gravity of the mixed sample will be 1.225 g/mL.

explain how to determine the number of atoms, cations, and anions in ionic compounds. use an example to explain.

Damm [24]

Answer:

use coefficients and subscripts to determine how many atoms are in a compound. If there is no subscript or coefficient, assume it is 1. If there is a coefficient, multiply it with the subscripts. For counting cations and anions, determine first which is the anion and cation (anion = nonmetal, cation = metal), then count the number of that ion.

Example:

NaCl

one atom of Na, one atom of Cl. Since Na is a metal, it is a cation. Cl is a nonmetal, so it is an anion.

2CaCl2

2 atoms of Ca, 4 atoms of Cl. There are 2 cations, since Na is a metal, and 4 anions since Cl is a nonmetal
