Answer: The correct answer is Option 4.

Explanation:

Electrical conductivity is defined as the degree to which a material can conduct electricity. Electricity is conducted by the free ions that are present in a solution.

Ionic compound on dissociation only forms ions which increases the electrical conductivity. More the concentration of the solution, more ions will be formed and more will be the electrical conductivity of the substance.

From the given options:

KOH is an ionic compound and $CH_3OH$ is a covalent compound.

0.1M KOH has higher concentration that 0.01 M KOH.

Hence, the best conductor out of the given options will be 0.1 M KOH.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

CH3OH is non-ionic and does not form a conductive solution.

0.1 M KOH has a higher total ionic concentration than 0.01 M KOH, so it will be a more conductive solution.

Aspirin (C9H8O4) is synthesized by reacting salicylic acid (C7H6O3) with acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) according to the reaction: C7

Lunna [17]

Answer:

$7.39\times 10^{3}g$ of acetic anhydride is needed

Explanation:

According to balanced equation, 1 mol of salicylic acid completely reacts with 1 mol of acetic anhydride

Number of moles = (mass)/(molar mass)

Molar mass of acetic anhydride = 102.09 g/mol

Molar mass of salicylic acid = 138.121 g/mol

So, $1.00\times 10^{4}g$ of salicylic acid = $\frac{1.00\times 10^{4}}{138.121}moles$ of salicylic acid

Hence, $\frac{1.00\times 10^{4}}{138.121}moles$ of salicylic acid reacts completely with $\frac{1.00\times 10^{4}}{138.121}moles$ of acetic anhydride.

So, mass of acetic anhydride needed = $\frac{1.00\times 10^{4}}{138.121}\times 102.09g$ = $7.39\times 10^{3}g$

How can you turn mechanical energy into electrical energy

Ghella [55]

Answer:

In a turbine generator, a moving fluid—water, steam, combustion gases, or air—pushes a series of blades mounted on a rotor shaft. The force of the fluid on the blades spins/rotates the rotor shaft of a generator. The generator, in turn, converts the mechanical (kinetic) energy of the rotor to electrical energy.
