Which substance, when dissolved in water, forms a solution that conducts an electric current?

1 answer:

6 0

Missing question:
(1) C2H5OH (3) C12H22O11
(2) C6H12O6 (4) CH3COOH.

Answer is: 4) CH₃COOH, acetic acid.
In water, acetic acid dissociates on ions, so it can conduct electricity:
CH₃COOH(aq) ⇄ CH₃COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
When we put electrodes (cathode and anode) in acetic acid solution, positive and negative ions migrate to electrodes.
Negative acetate ions go to positive electrode and gives electrons to electrode.
Positive hydrogen ions go to negative electrode and gain electrons.

Answer:

2.5 moles of Al

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 127 g of Al₂O₃. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of Al₂O₃ = 127 g

Molar mass of Al₂O₃ = 101.961 g/mol

Mole of Al₂O₃ =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of Al₂O₃ = 127 / 101.961

Mole of Al₂O₃ = 1.25 mole

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of Al that reacted. This can be obtained as follow:

4Al + 3O₂ —> 2Al₂O₃

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of Al reacted to produce 2 moles of Al₂O₃.

Therefore, Xmol of Al will react to produce 1.25 moles of Al₂O₃ i.e

Xmol of Al = (1.25 × 4)/2

Xmol of Al = 2.5 moles.

Thus, 2.5 moles of Al is needed for the reaction.

There are 31.1 grams (g) in 1 troy ounce (ozt). How many ozt of gold are extracted from 1 short ton of average Nevada ore

devlian [24]

This problem is providing us with the mass equivalent to one troy ounce. Thus, the troy ounces of gold in one short ton of average Nevada ore is required and found to be the 0.103 otz according to the following dimensional analysis.

<h3>Dimensional analysis</h3>

In chemistry, a raft of problems do not always provide an equation in order to be solved yet dimensional analysis can be applied, so as to obtain the desired amount in the required units.

Thus, since this problem asks for try ounces in an average Nevada ore, which has 3.2 grams of gold per short ton of ore, one can solve the following setup in order to obtain the required answer in otz:

$\frac{3.2gAu}{1short-ton}*1short-ton*\frac{1otz}{31.1g} \\$
