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.

A gas occupies 200ml at a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and 76mmHg pressure. Find the volume at -3degree Celsius with the pr

sergey [27]

Answer:

184.62 ml

Explanation:

Let $p_1, v_1,$ and $T_1$ be the initial and $p_2, v_2,$ and $T_2$ be the final pressure, volume, and temperature of the gas respectively.

Given that the pressure remains constant, so

$p_1=p_2$ ...(i)

$v_1$ = 200 ml

$T_1= 26 ^{\circ}C = 273+26 =299$ K

$T_2= 3 ^{\circ}C = 273+3 =276$ K

From the ideal gas equation, pv=mRT

Where p is the pressure, v is the volume, T is the temperature in Kelvin, m is the mass of air in kg, R is the specific gas constant.

For the initial condition,

$p_1v_1=mRT_1 \\\\mR= \frac{p_1v_1}{T_1}\cdots(ii)$

For the final condition,

$p_2v_2=mRT_2 \\\\mR= \frac{p_2v_2}{T_2}\cdots(iii)$

Equating equation (i), and (ii)

$\frac{p_1v_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2v_2}{T_2}$

$\frac{v_1}{T_1}=\frac{v_2}{T_2}$ [from equation (i)]

$v_2=\frac{T_2}{T_1} \times v_1$

Putting all the given values, we have

$v_2=\frac{276}{299} \times 200 = 184.62 \; ml$

Hence, the volume of the gas at 3 degrees Celsius is 184.62 ml.

How many molecules are in 165 g of carbon dioxide?

Alexeev081 [22]

First you need to know how many moles you would get from 165 g of carbon dioxide.
Carbon = 12
Oxygen 2 = 16 x 2 = 32
Total: 32 + 12 = 44
- Use proportions
1 mol CO2 x 1 mol CO2 44 g
---------------- = ---------- or ----------------- = ----------
44 g 165 x 165 g

165/44 = 3.75 moles CO2
- Last step is to multiply the amount of moles by Avagadros number, 6.02 x 10^23
3.75 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 2.25 x 10^24 molecules

- Keep in mind if your answer can be a little different than mind if you either round or keep the same numbers. I hope this Really Helps ! c:

Why do the spectra of the molecular species show broader bands compared to atomic spectra such as that seen for the hydrogen ato

Olenka [21]

Explanation:

The atomic spectrum is more like the transitions of electrons among electronic energy levels in an isolated atom. Atomic spectrum is mainly affected by interaction of the transitioning electrons between the nuclei spins and between the other electrons in the same atom.

However, molecular spectrum involve transition of electrons in molecules with two and more atoms(it can be in the same or different). Also, the valence electrons are now in different orbitals than that of the atomic orbitals and the orbital structure has changed the electronic transitions are different
