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.

NeX [460]

For the given reaction, according to the Law of Conservation of Energy, the energy required to decompose Hcl and produce $H_{2}+c l_{2}$ are equal.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to law of conservation's of energy, energy can only be transferred from reactants to product side. So in this process, it is stated that 185 kJ of energy will be needed to decompose it. So that 185 kJ of energy will be getting transferred to produce the creation of hydrogen and chloride in the product side.

So if we see from the reactants side, the energy of 185 kJ is required for decomposition of hydrogen chloride. Similarly, if we see from the product side, the 185 kJ utilized for decomposition is transferred as energy required to create hydrogen and chlorine atoms. This statement will be in accordance with the law of conservation's of energy.

To help determine what type of rock it is

Explanation:

Geologists can use information such as color, hardness, grain size, texture and other aspects of the rock to figure out the classification of a rock. for example, a light blue rock with no visible grain that is translucent and has a hardness of 9 is most likely going to be a saphire. hope this helps!!!!

poizon [28]

We are given the following equation:

y = y0 e^-0.0001216 t

where y = 1/5 y0, y0 is the original amount

So solving for time t:

1/5 y0= y0 e^-0.0001216 t

t = 13,235.51 years
