Answer:

  • <em>A compound that conducts an electric current in aqueous solution or in the molten state is</em> a <u>ionic compound</u>.

  • E.g. NaCl (table salt)

Explanation:

Some examples of ionic compounds are NaCl, KF, KI, MgSO₄.

Ionic compounds are formed by positivie ions (named cations) and negative ions (named anions). The strong electrostatic atraction between cations and anions permits the formation of crystals, which are stuctures characterized by a regular pattern. In solid state the ions are in fixed positions.

In order to conduct electricity, the charged particles (cations and anions in the case of the ionic compounds) need to  move freely.

Hence, since in solid state,  ionic compounds do not conduct electric current. But, <em>in molten (liquid) state or in aqueous solution, ionic compounds conduct electric current because, then, the ions move freely.</em>

True or False: Adding 4.18 joules to water will increase the temperature more than adding 1 calorie to water.
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Because one calorie is equal to 4.18 J, it takes 4.18 J to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1°C. In joules, water's specific heat is 4.18 J per gram per °C. If you look at the specific heat graph shown below, you will see that 4.18 is an unusually large value.

Which element has the greatest density at stp? calcium, chlorine, carbon or copper?
ludmilkaskok [199]
Density = mass/volume

Since at STP, one mole of any gas occupies 22.4 liters, therefore, the volume is equal.
So, we will arrange based on mass.

From the periodic table:
mass of carbon = 12 grams
mass of calcium = 40 grams
mass of chlorine = 35.5 grams
mass of copper = 63.5 grams

Based on this:
copper has the highest density.

Calculate the moles of FeFe in 1.17×10221.17×1022atoms of FeFe.
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

The number of moles of Fe in 1.17*10^22 atoms Fe is 0.0194 moles

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of atoms of Fe = 1.17 * 10^22 atoms

Number of Avogadro = 6.022 *10^23

Step 2: Calculate number of moles Fe

Moles Fe = atoms Fe / number of Avogadro

Moles Fe = 1.17*10^22 atoms / 6.022*10^23 / moles

Moles Fe = 0.0194 moles

The number of moles of Fe in 1.17*10^22 atoms Fe is 0.0194 moles

You may recall that the products of the complete combustion of a
Vesna [10]

Answer: CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)

Explanation: According to law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed.

Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

This is an example of combustion reaction in which hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. This is an exothermic reaction in which a large amount of heat is liberated, thus water also exists as vapors.

CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)
