What are electrolytes

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex777 [14]3 years ago

An electrolyte is a substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in a polar solvent, such as water. The dissolved electrolyte separates into cations and anions, which disperse uniformly through the solvent. Electrically, such a solution is neutral. 

Hope this helps!!

Use standard reduction potentials to calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction: 2Cr3+(aq) + Pb(s)2Cr2+(aq) + Pb2+(aq)
inn [45]

Answer:

3.47 ×10^-10

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is 2Cr3+(aq) + Pb(s)------->2Cr2+(aq) + Pb2+(aq)

A total of two moles of electrons were transferred in the process. The chromium was reduced while the lead was oxidized. Hence the lead species will constitute the oxidation half equation and the chromium will constitute the reduction half equation.

E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode

E°cathode = -0.41 V

E°anode = -0.13 V

E°cell = -0.41 -(-0.13) = -0.28 V

From

E°cell = 0.0592/n log K

n= 2, K= the unknown

-0.28 = 0.0592/2 log K

log K = -0.28/0.0296

log K = -9.4595

K = Antilog ( -9.4595)

K= 3.47 ×10^-10

Using the systematic approach for equilibrium problems, calculate the pH of 0.05 M HOCl. Ka= 3.0*10-8 Group of answer choices 3.
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The pH is equal to 4.41

Explanation:

Since HClO is a weak acid, its dissociation in aqueous medium is:

                HClO   ⇄   ClO-  +  H+

start:          0.05            0         0

change       -x               +x       +x

balance     0.05-x         x         x

As it is a weak acid it dissociates very little, in its ClO- and H + ions, so the change is negative, where x is a degree of dissociation.

the acidity constant when equilibrium is reached is equal to:

Ka=\frac{[ClO-]*[H+]}{[HClO]}=\frac{x*x}{0.05-x}=3x10^{-8}

The 0.05-x fraction can be approximated to 0.05, because the ionized fraction (x) is very small, therefore we have:

3x10^{-8}=\frac{x^{2} }{0.05}

clearing the x and calculating its value we have:

x=3.87x10^{-5}=[H+]=[ClO-]

the pH can be calculated by:

pH=-log[H+]=-log[3.87x10^{-5}]=4.41

A reaction between ammonia gas and chlorine gas produces
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

32.25

Explanation:

8NH3 + 3Cl2 → 6NH4Cl + N2

NH3 = 17 g/mol

number of moles = 1

NH4Cl= 43 g/mol

number of moles = 3/4

mass= 43 × ¾ ≈ 32.25 g

Which is true about sugar dissolving in water?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
<span>The correct answer is "Sugar is the solute and water is the solvent". Why? Sugar can be dissolved by water itself, especially in hot water, which is why water is considered to be a solvent, while sugar is considered to be a solute because it can be dissolved.</span>
