explain why conductors and insulators are both required to construct the electrical wiring in your home

Conductors are required to transmit electricity to various parts of the home. These take the form of the copper in the wires. Insulators separate various electrical conduits from each other and external bodies, as well as protecting the conductors from the elements. These take the form of the plastic sheathing over the wires.

As conductors let electrons pass through them easily, when there is a current, the conductor lets the electrons pass thru them giving the person a shock. This is why we need insulators. But having only insulators are also a problem as the insulator won't let electrons pass thru them not giving out electricity in your house

When multiplying numbers in scientific notation what do you do with exponents?
Basile [38]

Answer:

Subtract them.

Explanation:

''''"Since all number in scientific notation have base 10, we can always multiply them and divide them. To multiply two numbers in scientific notation, multiply their coefficients and add their exponents. To divide two numbers in scientific notation, divide their coefficients and subtract their exponents."""""

I was actually learned about this in school just found an source.

The mass of an electron is 9.11× 10–31 kg. What is the uncertainty in the position of an electron moving at 2.00 × 106 m/s with
Kruka [31]
Just use the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle: 

<span>ΔpΔx = h/2*pi </span>

<span>Δp = the uncertainty in momentum </span>
<span>Δx = the uncertainty in position </span>
<span>h = 6.626e-34 J s (plank's constant) </span>

<span>Hint: </span>

<span>to calculate Δp use the fact that the uncertainty in the momentum is 1% (0.01) so that </span>

<span>Δp = mv*(0.01) </span>

<span>m = mass of electron </span>
<span>v = velocity of electron </span>

<span>Solve for Δx </span>

<span>Δx = h/(2*pi*Δp) </span>

<span>And that is the uncertainty in position. </span>

1. A 99.8 mL sample of a solution that is 12.0% KI by mass (d: 1.093 g/mL) is added to 96.7 mL of another solution that is 14.0%
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

m_{PbI_2}=18.2gKI

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

2KI+Pb(NO_3)_2\rightarrow 2KNO_3+PbI_2

Thus, we proceed to compute the reacting moles of Pb(NO3)2 and KI, by using the given concentrations and densities and molar masses which are 331.2 g/mol and 166 g/mol respectively:

n_{Pb(NO_3)_2}=96.7mL*\frac{1.134g}{mL}*\frac{0.14gPb(NO_3)_2}{1g}*\frac{1molPb(NO_3)_2}{331.2gPb(NO_3)_2}  =0.0464molPb(NO_3)_2\\\\n_{KI}=99.8mL*\frac{1.093g}{mL}*\frac{0.12gKI}{1g}*\frac{1molKI}{166gKI}  =0.0789molKI

Next, the 0.0464 moles of Pb(NO3)2 will consume the following moles of KI (consider their 1:2 molar ratio):

n_{KI}^{consumed\ by\ Pb(NO_3)_2}=0.0464molPb(NO_3)_2*\frac{2molKI}{1molPb(NO_3)_2} =0.0928molKI

Hence, as only 0.0789 moles of KI are available, KI is the limiting reactant, therefore the formed grams of PbI2, considering its molar mass of 461.01 g/mol and 2:1 molar ratio, are:

m_{PbI_2}=0.0789molKI*\frac{1molPbI_2}{2molKI} *\frac{461.01gPbI_2}{1molPbI_2} \\\\m_{PbI_2}=18.2gKI

Best regards.
