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

Chemistry

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

A chemist must prepare of 800.0 ml potassium hydroxide solution with a pH of 13.00 at 25°.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

4.48 grams is the mass of potassium hydroxide that the chemist must weigh out in the second step.

Explanation:

The pH of the solution = 13.00

pH + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 13.00 = 1.00

pOH=-\log[OH^-]

1.00=-\log[OH^-]

[OH^-]=10^{-1.00} M=0.100 M

KOH(aq)\rightarrow K^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)

[KOH]=[OH^-]=[K^+]=0.100 M

Molariy of the KOH = 0.100 M

Volume of the KOH solution = 800 mL= 0.800 L

1 mL = 0.001 L

Moles of KOH = n

Molarity=\frac{Moles}{Volume(L)}

0.100 M=\frac{n}{0.800 L}

n = 0.0800 mol

Mass of 0.0800 moles of KOH :

0.0800 mol × 56 g/mol = 4.48 g

4.48 grams is the mass of potassium hydroxide that the chemist must weigh out in the second step.

Boron (B) has two isotopes, boron-10 and boron-11. The atomic weight of boron is ?
suter [353]

Answer:

Approximately 10,5

Explanation:

The question is not really very specific, because it would need the percentages of those isotopes in the nature. As they are not shown, it should be the median of those two numbers.

atomic weight ≈ \frac{10+11}{2} = 10,5

If you check a periodic table, you'll see it's actually 10,8, but that's because of the thing I told you at first (percentages missing).

Hope I could help.

For the reaction: 3 H2(g) + N2(g) <--> 2 NH3(g), the concentrations at equilbrium were [H2] = 0.10 M, [N2] = 0.10 M, and [
masya89 [10]

The equilibrium constant, k of the reaction in which case, the concentrations of the given reactants and products are as indicated is; Choice A; K = 3.1 x 10⁵

<h3>What is the equilibrium constant , k of the reaction as described in the task content?</h3>

It follows from above that the concentrations of the reactants and products are as follows; [H2] = 0.10 M, [N2] = 0.10 M, and [NH3] = 5.6 M at equilibrium.

Hence, the equilibrium constant of the reaction in discuss is;

K = [5.6]²/[0.10]³[0.10]

k = 5.6² × 10⁴

k = 3.136 × 10⁵

K = 3.1 × 10⁵.

How does solubility differ between small versus large carbohydrates? Explain.
EleoNora [17]

Answer with Explanation:

Small and large carbohydrates have<em> diverse structural properties</em>. Such property allow them to have <u>different solubility.</u>

Solubility is a chemical property of a substance that allows it to dissolve in a given solvent.

Carbohydrates are made up of "monosaccharides." These are simple sugars and are considered small carbohydrates. On the contrary, "polysaccharide" is an example of a large carbohydrate.<em><u> Monosaccharides are soluble in water</u></em><em> </em>while<em><u> many polysaccharides are not soluble in water.</u></em>

The high solubility of monosaccharides is mainly due to the presence of hydroxide (OH) groups. These groups are always ready to bond with water (H₂O). Many polysaccharides are not soluble in water because of <em>intermolecular interactions</em> that prevents it from binding with water. Its dissolution process is different when compared to the smaller molecules.

So, this explains the answer.
