1) ionic compound


there should be motive ions or free movable electrons to conduct electricity. The ionic compounds in the solid state, has no motive ions or free electrons as the ions are tightly attracted to each other. But in liquid state, the ions separate and move freely.

Answer:ionic compound

Explanation:

In an ionic solid, all the ions are tightly held by electrostatic attraction with the neighbouring oppositely charged ion hence they are immobile. Electricity conduction by ionic substances depends on the mobility of ions. When dissolved in water, these ions are now pulled apart from each other and migrate freely. The same occurs when the crystal lattice collapses and the solid melts. Hence only the fused substance or the solution of the substance can conduct electricity.

What is the final concentration of cl- ion when 250 ml of 0.20 m cacl2 solution is mixed with 250 ml of 0.40 m kcl solution? (as
serious [3.7K]

CaCl2 and KCl are both salts which dissociate in water when dissolved. Assuming that the dissolution of the two salts are 100 percent, the half reactions are:

<span>CaCl2 ---> Ca2+  +  2 Cl-</span>

KCl ---> K+ + Cl-

Therefore the total Cl- ion concentration would be coming from both salts. First, we calculate the Cl- from each salt by using stoichiometric ratio:

Cl- from CaCl2 = (0.2 moles CaCl2/ L) (0.25 L) (2 moles Cl / 1 mole CaCl2)

Cl- from CaCl2 = 0.1 moles

 

Cl- from KCl = (0.4 moles KCl/ L) (0.25 L) (1 mole Cl / 1 mole KCl)

Cl- from KCl = 0.1 moles

 

Therefore the final concentration of Cl- in the solution mixture is:

Cl- = (0.1 moles + 0.1 moles) / (0.25 L + 0.25 L)

Cl- = 0.2 moles / 0.5 moles

<span>Cl- = 0.4 moles             (ANSWER)</span>

Calculate the number of atoms in 5 moles H₂O.
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

90.35 × 10²³ atoms

Solution:

1 molecules of H20 contains 3 atoms,.

And we know that one mole of any molecule contains 6.023 × 10²³ atoms from Avogadro's number,

hence 5 moles of H20 will contain = 5× 6.023 × 10²³ × 3 atoms = 90.35 × 10²³ atoms!
