Explanation:

A non-electrolyte is defined as a solution which does not contain any ions and hence, it is unable to conduct electricity.

For example, when a non-polar substance like $CCl_{4}$ is dissolved in water then it will not dissociate into ions.

As electricity is the flow of ions or electrons. So, a non-electrolyte solution is not able to conduct electricity.

Similarly, a compound that is insoluble in water will not dissociate into ions. Hence, this type of solution will not be able to conduct electricity.

How many phosphorus atoms are contained in 158 kg of phosphorus? how many phosphorus atoms are contained in 158 kg of phosphorus

zheka24 [161]

To determine the number of phosphorus atoms from a given mass, we need to determine the number of moles of the substance by dividing the molar mass which for in this case is equal to 123.88 g/mol for P4. Then, we multiply Avogadro's number. It <span>represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole.

mole P4 = 158 kg P4 ( 1000 g / 1 kg ) ( 1 mol / 123.88 g ) = 1275.43 mol P4
# of P4 atoms = 1275.43 mol P4 ( 6.022 x 10^23 atoms P4 / 1 mol P4 ) = 7.68x10^26 atoms P4</span>

C3H8 and CH4 are 2 compounds made from the same elements. This is an example of which law? A) Law of Conservation of Mass b) Law

Sphinxa [80]

C3H8 and CH4 are two compounds made from the same two elements, C and H. The ratios of C and H for both are round numbers.

Law of multiple proportions states that when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.

So the ans is C) Law of Multiple Proportions
