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

You use 4.98 g of Na2SO4, how many grams of barium sulfate are produced?<br><br> Na2+Ba(NO3)2= ?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Mass of barium sulfate = 8.17 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sodium sulfate = 4.98 g

Mass of barium sulfate produced = ?

Solution:

Na₂SO₄ + Ba(NO₃)₂    →   BaSO₄ + 2NaNO₃

Moles of sodium sulfate:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles =4.98 g / 142.04 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.035 mol

Now we will compare the moles pf sodium sulfate and with barium sulfate.

                            Na₂SO₄               :            BaSO₄

                                1                       :              1

                              0.035                :          0.035

Mass of barium sulfate:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass =   0.035 mol ×233.4 g/mol

Mass = 8.17 g

Suppose that you are performing a titration on a monoprotic acid. Titration of this monoprotic acid required a volume of 0.1L of
Alex73 [517]

Answer: A) More base is likely required to reach the endpoint for the diprotic acid than for the monoprotic acid under these conditions

Explanation:

The monoprotic acid (HA) has a valency of 1 and diprotic acid  (H_2A) has a valency of 2.

As the concentration and volume of the diprotic acid and the monoprotic acids are equal.

The neutralization reaction for monoprotic acid is:

HA+BOH\rightarrow BA+H_2O

The neutralization reaction for diprotic acid is:

H_2A+2BOH\rightarrow B_2A+2H_2O

Thus more number of moles of base are required for neutralization of diprotic acid and thus the volume required will be more as concentration and volume of the diprotic acid and the monoprotic acids are equal.

Which of the following species contains manganese with the highest oxidation number?
ioda

In NaMnO₄, Mn has the highest oxidation number.

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Which of the following species contains manganese with the highest oxidation number?

A) Mn

B) MnF₂

C) Mn₃(PO₄)₂

D) MnCl₄

E) NaMnO₄

In order to ascertain the specie that contains manganese with the highest oxidation number, we must calculate the oxidation number of manganese in each of the species one after the other.

1) For Mn, the oxidation number of Mn is zero because the atom is uncombined.

2) For MnF₂;

Mn has an oxidation number of +2

3) For Mn₃(PO₄)₂

Mn has an oxidation number of +2

4) For MnCl₄

Mn has an oxidation number of +4

5) For NaMnO₄

Mn has an oxidation number of +7

Hence in NaMnO₄, Mn has the highest oxidation number.
