Why do acids and bases have a good conduction of electricity?

1 answer:

7 0

All acids only conduct electric current when they are dissolved in water, because when they are in an aqueous medium, they undergo ionization, i.e. release <span>ions.</span><span>

HCl --> H</span>⁺ + Cl⁻

The bases also conduct electric current in solution, because the Ionic dissociation sufferers (release the existing ions in the formula) and molecular ionization, suffer the reacting with water and releasing ions.

NaOH ---> Na⁺ + OH⁻

hope this helps!

A 25.0 ml sample of 0.723 m hclo4 is titrated with a 0.27303 m koh solution. the h3o+ concentration after the addition of 66.2 m

This doesn't need an ICE chart. Both will fully dissociate in water.

Assume HClO4 and KOH reacts with one another. All you need to do is determine how much HClO4 will remain after the reaction. Calculate pH.

Step 1:

write out balanced equation for the reaction

HClO4+KOH ⇔ KClO4 + H2O

the ratio of HClO4 to KOH is going to be 1:1. Each mole of KOH we add will fully react with 1 mole of HClO4

Step 2:

Determining the number of moles present in HClO4 and KOH

Use the molar concentration and the volume for each:
25 mL of 0.723 M HClO4

Covert volume from mL into L:
25 mL * 1L/1000mL = 0.025 L

Remember:

M = moles/L so we have 0.025 L of 0.723 moles/L HClO4

Multiply the volume in L by the molar concentration to get:

0.025L x 0.723mol/L = 0.0181 moles HClO4.

Add 66.2 mL KOH with conc.=0.273M
66.2mL*1L/1000mL = .0662 L
.0662L x 0.273mol/L = 0.0181 moles KOH

Step 3:

Determine how much HClO4 remains after reacting with the KOH.

Since both reactants fully dissociate and are used in a 1:1 ratio, we just subtract the number of moles of KOH from the number of moles of HClO4:

moles HClO4 = 0.0181; moles KOH = 0.0181, so 0.0181-0.0181 = 0

This means all of the HClO4 is used up in the reaction.

If all of the acid is fully reacted with the base, the pH will be neutral = 7.

Determine the H3O+ concentration:

pH = -log[H3O+]; [H3O+] = 10-pH = 10-7

The correct answer is 1.0x10-7.

The element in Group 14 Period 4 has how many neutrons and is it a metal, nonmetal, metalloid or noble gas.

monitta

Number of neutrons=41, and it is metalloid

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Group 14⇒valence electron = 4(ns²np²)

Period 4⇒n=4

So electron configuration of the element :

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p² = 32 electron=atomic number

The element with atomic number 32, which is in period 4 and group 14 is Ge-Germanium

There are seven elements that can be classified as metalloids, namely boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), tellurium (Te), and polonium (Po).

While the mass number: 73

So the number of neutrons = mass number-atomic number

$\tt 73-32=41$
