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

Chemistry
1 answer:
omeli [17]2 years ago

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!

22.4l of ammonia is reaxts with 1.406 mole of oxygen to produce NO and h2o .1.what volume of no is produced at ntp​
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The volume of NO is 22.4L at STP

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

2NH3 + 5/2O2 → 2NO + 3H2O

<em>2 moles of NH3 react with 5/2 moles of O2 to produce 2 moles of NO.</em>

<em />

To solve this question, we need to find the moles of each reactant in order to find the limiting reactant as follows:

<em>Moles NH3 -Molar mass: -17.01g/mol-</em>

Using PV = nRT

PV/RT = n

<em>Where P is pressure = 1atm at STP</em>

<em>V is volume = 22.4L</em>

<em>R is gas constant = 0.082atmL/molK</em>

<em>T is absolute temperature = 273.15K</em>

1atm*22.4L/0.082atmL/molK*273.15K = n

n = 1.00 moles of NH3

For a complete reaction of 1.00 moles of NH3 are needed:

1.00 moles NH3 * (5/2moles O2 / 2moles NH3) = 1.25 moles of O2

As there are 1.406 moles of O2, <em>the limiting reactant is NH3</em>

<em />

The moles of NO produced are the same than moles of NH3 because 2 moles of NH3 produce 2 moles of NO. The moles of NO are 1.00 moles

And as 1.00moles of gas are 22.4L at STP:

<h3>The volume of NO is 22.4L at STP</h3>

Why gold is called inert metal​
astraxan [27]

Gold has a heavy enough nucleus that its electrons must travel at speeds nearing the speed of light to prevent them from falling into the nucleus. This relativistic effect applies to those orbitals that have appreciable density at the nucleus, such as s and p orbitals. These relativistic electrons gain mass and as a consequence, their orbits contract. As these s and (to some degree) p orbits are contracted, the other electrons in d and f orbitals are better screened from the nucleus and their orbitals actually expand.

Since the 6s orbital with one electron is contracted, this electron is more tightly bound to the nucleus and less available for bonding with other atoms. The 4f and 5d orbitals expand, but can't be involved in bond formation since they are completely filled. This is why gold is relatively unreactive.

Hope it helps
