Answer: Option (1) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An ionic compound is the compound which is composed of oppositely charged ions.

When an ionic compound is in a solid state, then oppositely charged ions are held together by strong electrostatic force of attraction. To break is force of attraction, high energy is required. That is why, ionic compounds do not conduct electricity as a solid.

Whereas in melted state, the ions are less tightly held and as a result they can move easily  from one place to another. Also in melted state, ionic compounds act as strong electrolyte. Hence, they are able to conduct electricity.

On the other hand, molecular compounds are poor conductors of electricity and non-metals do not conduct electricity. Whereas a metal is a good conductor of electricity even in its solid state.

Thus, we can conclude that a substance that does not conduct electricity as a solid but does conduct electricity when melted is most likely classified as an ionic compound.

s sample of thorium-234 has a half life of 25 days. will all the thorium undergo radioactive decay in 50 days?
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

25% thorium will left after 50 days.

Explanation:

Half life:

A nuclear half is the time period of radioactive material in which its amount remain halved.

In given question it is stated that the half life thorium-234 is 25 days. Which means after passing the 25 days the amount of thorium must be halved of original amount.

For example,

If the original concentration was 100%, than after 25 days it will be 50%.

After 50 days amount of thorium left:

Number of half life = T (elapsed) / T half life

Number of half life = 50/25

Number of half life =  2

At first half life amount of thorium left = 100/2 = 50

After second half life amount of thorium left = 50/2 = 25

Total amount decayed = 50+25 = 75

Amount left after 50 days = 100-75 = 25

25% thorium will left after 50 days.

Determine the molar mass of CuSO4×5H2O
asambeis [7]
248.72 g/mol

CuSO4 has a molar mass of 159.62. H2O has a molar mass of 18.02, which is multiplied by 5 to reflect the 5 H2O molecules.

159.62+5(18.02)=249.72 g/mol

Tim wants to store 0.122 moles of helium gas at 203 kPa and 401 K. Which is the volume of the helium gas needed for storage?
algol13

 The  volume  of Helium gas needed for storage  is 2.00 L (answer C)


 <u><em> calculation</em></u>

 The volume of Helium is calculated using ideal gas equation

That is Pv =nRT

where;

 P( pressure) = 203 KPa

V(volume)=?

n(number  of moles) =  0.122 moles

R(gas constant) = 8.314  L.Kpa/mol.K

T(temperature)= 401 K

make V the  subject of the formula  by diving both side  by P

V=nRT/p

V={[0.122  moles x 8.314 L. KPa/mol.K  x 401 K]  / 203 KPa} = 2.00 L
