Why doesn't potassium fluoride conduct electricity as a solid?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Korvikt [17]3 years ago

potassium flouride is an ionic compound and ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in solid form instead it conducts electricity in molten state.Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in solid state because their ions are fixed while in molten form the ions are free

A solution contains 50.0g of heptane (C7H16)and 50.0g of octane (C8H18) at 25 degrees C.The vapor pressures of pure heptane and
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

a)Pheptane = 24.3 torr          

Poctane = 5.12 torr    

b)Ptotal vapor = 29.42 torr

c)  81 % heptane

    19 % octane

d) See explanation below

Explanation:

The partial pressure is given by Raoult´s law as:

Pa = Xa Pºa where Pa = partial pressure of component A

                               Xa = mole fraction of A

                               Pºa = vapor pressure of pure A

For a binary solution what we have to do is compute the partial  vapor pressure of each component and then add them together to get total vapor pressure.

In order to calculate the composition of the vapor  in part b), we will first calculate the mole fraction of each component in the vapor which is given by the relationship:

          Xa = Pa/Pt where Xa = mol fraction of  in the vapor

                                       Pa = partial pressure of A as calculated above

                                        Pt = total vapor pressure

Once we have mole fractions we can calculate the masses of the components for part c)    

a)                  

 MW heptane = 100.21 g/mol

 MW octane = 114.23 g/mol

mol heptane = 50.0 g / 100.21 g/mol = 0.50 mol

mol octane = 50.0 g/ 114.23 g/mol = 0.44 mol

mol total = 0.94 ⇒ Xa= 0.50/0.94 = 0.53 and

                             Xb= 0.44/0.94 = 0.47

Pheptane = 0.53 x 45.8 torr = 24.3 torr

Poctane = 0.47 x 10.9 torr = 5.12 torr

b) Ptotal = 24.3 torr +5.12 torr = 29.42 torr

c) We will call Y the mole fraction in the vapor to differentiate it from the mole fraction in solution

Y heptane (in the vapor) = 24.3 torr/ 29.42 torr = 0.83

Y octane (in the vapor) = 5.12 torr/ 29.42 torr = 0.17

d) To solve this part   we will assume that since the molecular weights are similar then having a mole fraction for heptane of 0.82, we could say that for every mole of mixture we have 0.82 mol heptane and 0.17 mol octane  and then we can calculate the masses:

0.82 mol x 100.21  g/mol = 82.2 g

0.17 mol x 114.23 g/mol =  19.4 g

total mass = 101.6

% heptane = 82.2 g/101.6g x 100 = 81 %

% octane = 19 %

There is another way to do this more exactly by calculating the average molecular weight of the mixture:

average MW = 0.83 (100.21 g/mol)  + 0.17 ( 114.23 g/mol ) = 102. 6 g/mol

and then  having a mol fraction of 0.83  means in 1 mol of mixture we have 0.83 mol heptane and 0.17 mol octane then the masses are:

mass heptane = 0.83 x 100.21 g/mol = 83.2 g

mass octane = 0.17 x  114.23 g/mol = 19.4 g

mass of mixture = 1 mol x MW mixture = 1 mol x 102.6 g/mol 102.6 g

% heptane = (83.2 g/ 102.6 g ) x 100 g = 81 %

% octane = 100 - 81 = 19 %

d)The composition of the vapor is different from the composition of the solution because the vapor is going to be richer in the more volatile compound in the solution which in this case is heptane ( 45.8  vs 10.9 torr).

The concentration of a biomolecule inside a rod‑shaped prokaryotic cell is 0.0035 M . Calculate the number of molecules inside t
timama [110]

Answer: This rod-shape prokaryotic cell has 3.740,734725‬ molecules

Explanation:

<u>Step 1 :</u> given data

Molarity of the prokaryotic cell = 0.0035 M

Length of the cell = 4.2 μm = 4.2 * 10^-6 m

diameter of the cell = 1.3 μm = 1.3 * 10^-6 m

<u>Step 2: </u>calculate volume

To calculate volume of a rod, weneef to know the radius.

V = r ² × l

The radius = half of the diameter : r = d/2 ⇒ (1.3 * 10^-6 m)/2 = 0.65 * 10^-6 m

V= (0.65 * 10^-6 m)² * 4.2 * 10^-6 m = 1.7745 * 10 ^-18 L

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculating number of moles

Number of moles = Concentration * Volume

moles = 0.0035 M * 1.7745 * 10 ^-18 L = 6.21075 * 10^-21 moles‬

<u>Step 4:</u> calculating number of molecules

1 mole contains 6.023 * 10 ^-23 molecules

6.21075 * 10^-21 moles contain : 6.21075 * 10^-21 * 6.023 * 10 ^-23 molecules = 3.740,734725‬ molecules

This rod-shape prokaryotic cell has 3.740,734725‬ molecules

Extension: Cedric has been in the hospital for 15 weeks, how many minutes is that? Use
almond37 [142]

Answer:

151200 minutes.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Time (in week) = 15 weeks

Time (in min) =?

Next, we shall convert 15 weeks to days. This can be obtained as follow:

1 week = 7 days

Therefore,

15 weeks = 15 weeks × 7 days / 1 week

15 weeks = 105 days

Next, we shall convert 105 days to hours. This can be obtained as follow:

1 day = 24 h

Therefore,

105 days = 105 days × 24 h / 1 day

105 days = 2520 h

Finally, we shall convert 2520 h to mins. This can be obtained as follow:

1 h = 60 mins

Therefore,

2520 h = 2520 h × 60 mins / 1 h

2520 h = 151200 mins

Thus, 15 weeks is equivalent to 151200 minutes.
