Why are conductors better than insulators to carry electric current

Chemistry
1 answer:
marysya [2.9K]3 years ago
5 0

Conductors are better than insulators to carry electric current because they give the electricity the ability to flow freely throughout circuits. This helps the insulator to do its job of containing the electric charge. Examples of this would be a tv plug - the rubber surrounding the TV plug helps to keep the conductors (wires) in place, thus helping to facilitate an electric charge.

EXTRA POINTSSS 1. A solution at 25 degrees Celsius is 1.0 × 10–5 M H3O+. What is the concentration of OH– in this solution?
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Concentration of OH⁻:

1.0 × 10⁻⁹ M.

Explanation:

The following equilibrium goes on in aqueous solutions:

\text{H}_2\text{O}\;(l)\rightleftharpoons \text{H}^{+}\;(aq) + \text{OH}^{-}\;(aq).

The equilibrium constant for this reaction is called the self-ionization constant of water:

K_w = [\text{H}^{+}]\cdot[\text{OH}^{-}].

Note that water isn't part of this constant.

The value of K_w at 25 °C is 10^{-14}. How to memorize this value?

  • The pH of pure water at 25 °C is 7.
  • [\text{H}^{+}] = 10^{-\text{pH}} = 10^{-7}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}
  • However, [\text{OH}^{-}] = [\text{H}^{+}]=10^{-7}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3} for pure water.
  • As a result, K_w = [\text{H}^{+}] \cdot[\text{OH}^{-}] = (10^{-7})^{2} = 10^{-14} at 25 °C.

Back to this question. [\text{H}^{+}] is given. 25 °C implies that K_w = 10^{-14}. As a result,

\displaystyle [\text{OH}^{-}] = \frac{K_w}{[\text{H}^{+}]} = \frac{10^{-14}}{1.0\times 10^{-5}} = 10^{-9} \;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}.
