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:

Limestone caves are formed when acid rain occurs.

Explanation:

When chalk pieces which is made of calcium carbonate react with acetic acid, it produces carbon dioxide, calcium acetate, and water. When calcium carbonate react with Carbonated Water produces calcium bicarbonate. Limestone cave forms when the dissolution of limestone occur when rainwater which is acidic due to the addition of carbondioxide in the air react with limestone. This dissolution removes the lime from the rock and caves are formed.

Explain why materials with metallic lattice structures can be used to make wires and connections that conduct electricity in ele

kogti [31]

All metals have similar properties BUT, there can be wide variations in melting point, boiling point, density, electrical conductivity and physical strength.To explain the physical properties of metals like iron or sodium we need a more sophisticated picture than a simple particle model of atoms all lined up in close packed rows and layers, though this picture is correctly described as another example of a giant lattice held together by metallic bonding.A giant metallic lattice – the crystal lattice of metals consists of ions (NOT atoms) surrounded by a 'sea of electrons' that form the giant lattice (2D diagram above right).The outer electrons (–) from the original metal atoms are free to move around between the positive metal ions formed (+).These 'free' or 'delocalised' electrons from the outer shell of the metal atoms are the 'electronic glue' holding the particles together.There is a strong electrical force of attraction between these free electrons (mobile electrons or 'sea' of delocalised electrons) (–) and the 'immobile' positive metal ions (+) that form the giant lattice and this is the metallic bond. The attractive force acts in all directions.Metallic bonding is not directional like covalent bonding, it is like ionic bonding in the sense that the force of attraction between the positive metal ions and the mobile electrons acts in every direction about the fixed (immobile) metal ions of the metal crystal lattice, but in ionic lattices none of the ions are mobile. a big difference between a metal bond and an ionic bond.Metals can become weakened when repeatedly stressed and strained.This can lead to faults developing in the metal structure called 'metal fatigue' or 'stress fractures'.If the metal fatigue is significant it can lead to the collapse of a metal structure.

Please somebody give me the answers

RSB [31]

Answer:

1. 9.4 grams of methane produce 25.85 grams of CO2

2.Grams of water produced = 11.81 grams

3.Mass of Methane produced by 10.1 gram of O2 = 2.52 grams

4.Amount of methane consumed = 46.9 grams

5. Grams of Co2 produced = 8.32 grams

Explanation:

Molar masses :

Methane = CH4 = mass of C + 4x (mass of H)

CH4 = 12 +4(1) = 16 grams

1 mole of CH4 = 16 gram

Oxygen O2 = 2 x (mass of O) = 2x(16) = 32 gram (1 mole of O2 =32 gram)

Carbon Dioxide =CO2 = mass of C + 2(mass of O)

= 12 + 2(16)

= 44 grams (1 mole of CO2 = 44 gram )

Water = H2O = 18 grams ( 1 mole of H2O = 18 gram)

1 mole of each molecule is equal to their molar masses

The balanced equation is :

$1CH_{4}(g)+2O_{2}\rightarrow 1CO_{2}+2H_{2}O(l)$

According to Stoichiometry :

1 mole of CH4 = 2 Mole of O2 = 1 mole of CO2 = 2 mole of H2O

1. From the equation ,

1 mole of methane produce =1 mole of CO2

16 gram of methane = 44 gram of CO2

1 gram of methane =

$\frac{44}{16}$ gram of CO2

9.4 gram of CH4 =

$\frac{44}{16}\times 9.4$ gram of CO2

= 25 .85 gram of CO2

2 mole of O2 produces = 2 mole of H2O(water)

1 mole of O2 produces = 1 mole of H2O

32 gram of O2 = 18 gram of water

1 gram of O2 =

$\frac{18}{32}$

21 gram of O2 =

$\frac{18}{32}\times 21$

11.81 gram of water

3. 1 mole of CH4 = 2 mole of O2

16 gram of CH4 = 2(32) = 64 grams of O2

64 gram of O2 needs = 16 grams of CH4

1 gram of O2 needs =

$\frac{16}{64}$

10.1 gram of O =

$\frac{16}{64}\times 10.1$ of CH4

= 2.52 gram

1 mole of CO2 is produced from = 1 mole of CH4

44 gram of CO2 is produced from 16 gram of CH4

1 gram CO2 =

$\frac{16}{44}$ gram of CH4

129 gram of CO2 =

$\frac{16}{44}\times 129$ gram of CH4

= 46.90 grams

2 mole of O2 produce = 1 mole of CO2

2x 32 gram of O2 = 44 gram of CO2

1 gram of O2 =

$\frac{44}{64}$ of CO2

12.1 gram of O2 produce=

$\frac{44}{64}\times 12.1$ of CO2

= 8.318 gram

Note : Write the quantity give on left side of "="

write the substance asked on right side of "="

Collision of which two types of plates create the deepest earthquakes? Why do you think this is?

Elis [28]

Answer:

The collision of oceanic plates and any other plates in which the oceanic plate slides beneath the other plate creates the biggest earth quakes. Most of these earth quakes occur beneath the sea or oceans and can cause volcanic eruptions as well. Tsunami is another oceanic event that occurs due to earth quakes occurring due to shifting of plates beneath the sea.

In a car engine gasoline is burning to create mechanical energy which of the following statements is true? A. Some energy is los

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Some energy is lost as heat

Explanation:

It is correct to say that as the gasoline is converted to mechanical energy in the automobile engine, some of the energy is lost as heat.

Heat energy is on of the ways energy is lost in any system. The movement of mechanical parts and even the combustion of the gasoline produces heat energy.

These energy are usually lost to the environment.
