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⁻

Explanation:

The general schemefor a reaction is given as;

Reactants --> Products

In this question, the reactants are AgNO3 and Na2SO4. The product is Ag2SO4.

The equation is given as;

AgNO3 + Na2SO4 --> Ag2SO4

The other poduct formed in this reaction is NaNO3.

The full reaction is given as;

AgNO3 + Na2SO4 --> Ag2SO4 + NaNO3

The above reaction is not balanced because there are unequal number of atoms of the elements on both sides of the reaction.

The balanced equation is given as;

2 AgNO3 + Na2SO4 → Ag2SO4 + 2 NaNO3

In this equation, there are equal number of moles of the atoms on both sides.

An aqueous magnesium chloride solution is made by dissolving 7.15 moles of MgCl2 in sufficient water so that the final volume of

irinina [24]

Answer:

2.86mol/L

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of MgCl₂ = 7.15moles

Volume of solution = 2.50L

Unknown:

Molarity of the MgCl₂ solution = ?

Solution:

The molarity of a solution is the number of moles of solute found in a given volume.

Molarity = $\frac{number of moles }{volume}$

Insert the parameters and solve;

Molarity = $\frac{7.15}{2.5}$ = 2.86mol/L

Which product of prime polynomials is equivalent to 36x3 – 15x2 – 6x?

monitta

The product of prime polynomials is equivalent to 36x3 – 15x2 – 6x is letter B which is 3x(3x – 2)(4x 1). Below is the solution.

3x(3x - 2) (4x + 1)
= 9x2 - 6x (4x + 1)
= 36x3 + 9x2 + - 24x2 - 6x
= 36x3 - 15x2 - 6x

g On the basis of their respective pKa values, determine which is the stronger acid, acetic acid (pKa 5 4.7) or benzoic acid (ma

ozzi

Answer:

Benzoic acid is the stronger acid

Explanation:

Weak acids do not dissociate completely in the solution. They exists in equilibrium with their respective ions in the solution.

The extent of dissociation of the acid furnising hydrogen ions can be determined by using dissociation constant of acid ( $K_a$ ).

Thus for a weak acid, HA

$HA \rightleftharpoons A^- + H^+$

The $K_a$ is:

$K_a= \frac{[A^-][H^+]}{[HA]}$

The more the $K_a$ , the more the acid dissociates, the more the stronger is the acid.

Also,

$pK_a$ is defined as the negative logarithm of $K_a$ .

So, more the $pK_a$ , less is the $K_a$ and vice versa

All can be summed up as:

The less the value of $pK_a$ , the more the $K_a$ is and the more the acid dissociates and the more the stronger is the acid.

Given,

$pK_a$ of acetic acid = 54.7

$pK_a$ of benzoic acid = 54.2

$pK_a$ of benzoic acid < $pK_a$ of acetic acid

So, benzoic acid is the stronger acid.

A compound is composed of 13% carbon, 4.3% hydrogen, 30.4% nitrogen, and 52.2% oxygen. The mystery compound has a molar mass of

vredina [299]

Answer:

C₂H₈N₄O₆ is the molecular formula for the compound

Explanation:

Data from the problem:

13 g of C in 100 g of compound

4.3 g of H in 100 g of compound

30.4 g of N in 100 g of compound

52.2 g of O in 100 g of compound

Firstly we determine, the mass of each in 184 g of compound, which is 1 mol

(13 g / 100 g) . 184 g = 24 g C

(4.3 g / 100 g) . 184 g = 7.91 g H ≅ 8 g H

(30.4 g / 100 g) . 184 g = 56 g N

(52.2 g / 100 g) . 184 g = 96 g O

And now, we divide the mass by the molar mass of each to determine the moles:

24 g C / 12 g/mol = 2 mol C

8g H / 1 g/mol = 8 mol H

56 g N / 14 g/mol = 4 mol N

96 g O / 16 g/mol = 6 mol O

So the molecular formula of the compound is C₂H₈N₄O₆
