Conduction, transfer of heat or electricity through a substance, resulting from a difference in temperature between different parts of the substance, in the case of heat, or from a difference in electric potential, in the case of electricity. Since heat is energy associated with the motions of the particles making up the substance, it is transferred by such motions, shifting from regions of higher temperature, where the particles are more energetic, to regions of lower temperature. The rate of heat flow between two regions is proportional to the temperature difference between them and the heat conductivity of the substance. In solids, the molecules themselves are bound and contribute to conduction of heat mainly by vibrating against neighboring molecules; a more important mechanism, however, is the migration of energetic free electrons through the solid. Metals, which have a high free-electron density, are good conductors of heat, while nonmetals, such as wood or glass, have few free electrons and do not conduct as well. Especially poor conductors, such as asbestos, have been used as insulators to impede heat flow (see insulation). Liquids and gases have their molecules farther apart and are generally poor conductors of heat. Conduction of electricity consists of the flow of charges as a result of an electromotive force, or potential difference. The rate of flow, i.e., the electric current, is proportional to the potential difference and to the electrical conductivity of the substance, which in turn depends on the nature of the substance, its cross-sectional area, and its temperature. In solids, electric current consists of a flow of electrons; as in the case of heat conduction, metals are better conductors of electricity because of their greater free-electron density, while nonmetals, such as rubber, are poor conductors and may be used as electrical insulators, or dielectrics. Increasing the cross-sectional area of a given conductor will increase the current because more electrons will be available for conduction. Increasing the temperature will inhibit conduction in a metal because the increased thermal motions of the electrons will tend to interfere with their regular flow in an electric current; in a nonmetal, however, an increase in temperature improves conduction because it frees more electrons.
Answer : Volume of HCl ( in ml) is 10 ml.
Solution : Given, Concentration of NaOH = 0.1 mol/L
Volume of NaOH = 20 ml
Concentration of HCl = 0.2 mol/L
Volume of HCl = ?
Formula used : Moles = Volume × Concentration
In the reaction, we see that 1 mole of NaOH react with the 1 mole of HCl.
so,
Moles of NaOH = Moles of HCl
Moles of HCl = Moles of NaOH = Volume of NaOH ( in L) × Concentration of NaOH
Converstion ml into L : 1000 ml = 1 L
Moles of HCl = 
× 0.1
= 0.002 mol
Volume of HCl = Moles / Comcentration of HCl
= 
= 0.01 L
Volume of HCl (in ml) = 0.01 × 1000 = 10 ml
Answer:
Any Alkali Earth Metal - Group 2A aka Group 16 or polyatomic cation with a 2+ charge
In order to get the sum of 2.7 and 2.47, we will add both numbers. So, 2.7 plus 2.47 would be 5.17. And the correct number of significant digits in this number is still the same, 5.17, so we have three significant numbers. Why? There are three rules in identifying the significant figures: 1. Non zeros are always significant (which this applies in our sum above). 2. Any zeros in between significant numbers are always significant. 3. <span> The final zero or zeros in the decimal portion only are significant.</span>
