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

An oxygen atom has a mass of 2.66*10^-23 and a glass of water has a mass of 0.050 kg. What is the mass of 1 mole of oxygen atoms

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

16.0 g; 3.1 mol

Explanation:

(a) Mass of O atoms

Mass = 6.022 × 10^23 atoms × (2.66 × 10^-23 g/1 atom) = 16.0 g

(b) Moles of O atoms

0.050 kg = 50 g

Moles = 50 g × (1 mol/16.0 g) = 3.1 mol

In an organic structure, you can classify each of the carbons as follows: Primary carbon (1o) = carbon bonded to just 1 other ca

Alla [95]

The question is incomplete, complete question is :

In an organic structure, you can classify each of the carbons as follows: Primary carbon (1°) = carbon bonded to just 1 other carbon group Secondary carbon (2°) = carbon bonded to 2 other carbon groups Tertiary carbon (3°) = carbon bonded to 3 other carbon groups Quaternary carbon (4°) = carbon bonded to 4 other carbon groups How many carbons of each classification are in the structure below? How many total carbons are in the structure? How many primary carbons are in the structure? How many secondary carbons are in the structure? How many tertiary carbons are in the structure? How many quaternary carbons are in the structure?

Structure is given in an image?

Answer:

There are 10 carbon atoms in the given structures out of which 6 are 1° , 1 is 2° , 2 are 3° and 1 is 4°.

Explanation:

Total numbers of carbon = 10

Number of primary carbons that is carbon joined to just single carbon atom = 6

Number of secondary carbons that is carbon joined to two carbon atoms = 1

Number of tertiary carbons that is carbon joined to three carbon atoms = 2

Number of quartenary carbons that is carbon joined to four carbon atoms = 1

So, there are 10 carbon atoms in the given structures out of which 6 are 1° , 1 is 2° , 2 are 3° and 1 is 4°.

Which of the following would require the largest volume of 0.100 M sodium hydroxide solution for neutralization?:

bazaltina [42]

Answer:10.0 mL of 0.00500 M phosphoric acid

Explanation:

If we look at the Ka values of the acids, we will realize that phosphoric acid has a Ka of 7.1 * 10-3. It is the only acid in the list having acid dissociation constant less than 1. This means that it does not ionize easily in solution and a very large volume of base must be added to ensure that it reacts completely. Acids with Ka >1 are generally regarded as strong acids. All the acids listed have Ka>1 except phosphoric acid.
