What are electrolytes

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex777 [14]3 years ago
3 0
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!!

Name the reactants and products of Na3PO4 + 3KOHàNaOH + K3PO4 <br> (Question 2 and 3)
Leona [35]

Answer:

Question 2: Na3PO4, KOH; Question 3: Na3PO4, KOH

Explanation:

Question 2

The reactants in a chemical equation are the species on the left side of the reaction arrow.

Thus the reactants are Na3PO4, KOH (sodium phosphate and potassium hydroxide).

Question 3.

The products in a chemical equation are the species on the right side of the reaction arrow.

Thus the products are NaOH, K3PO4 (sodium hydroxide and potassium phosphate).

5. How can you tell the difference between CuS and Cu2S
puteri [66]

Answer:

Density, melting point. and magnetic properties  

Explanation:

I can think of three ways.

1. Density

The density of Cu₂S is 5.6 g/cm³; that of CuS is 4.76 g/cm³.

It should be possible to distinguish these even with high school equipment.

2. Melting point

Cu₂S melts at 1130 °C (yellowish-red); CuS decomposes at 500 °C (faint red).

A Bunsen burner can easily reach these temperatures.

3. Magnetic properties

You can use a Gouy balance to measure the magnetic susceptibilities.

In Cu₂S the Cu⁺ ion has a d¹⁰ electron configuration, so all the electrons are paired and the solid is diamagnetic.

In CuS the Cu²⁺ ion has a d⁹ electron configuration, so all there is an unpaired electron and the solid is paramagnetic.

A sample of Cu₂S will be repelled by the magnetic field and show a decrease in weight.

A sample of CuS will be attracted by the magnetic field and show an increase in weight.

In the picture below, you can see the sample partially suspended between the poles of an electromagnet.

What is the pH of 0.000134 M solution of HCI?
mafiozo [28]

Answer: The pH will be 3.87

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

pH=-\log [H^+]

HCl\rightarrow H^++Cl^{-}

According to stoichiometry,

1 mole of HCl gives 1 mole of H^+

Thus 0.000134 moles of HCl gives =\frac{1}{1}\times 0.000134=0.0001342 moles of H^+

Putting in the values:

pH=-\log[0.000134]

pH=3.87

Thus the pH will be 3.87

The methylene chloride solution is filtered through sodium sulfate to:
Vlad [161]

Answer:

C. Dry the methylene chloride by removing water

Explanation:

Anhydrous sodium sulfate is known for its high capacity to absorb water, for this reason it is widely used in laboratories as a drying agent.

Sodium sulfate is a neutral molecule so it cannot be used to neutralize and is very stable, so it is difficult to precipitate organic molecules.
