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.

If 45.0 mL of ethanol (density =0.789g/mol) initially at 6.0°C mix with 45.0 mL of water (density =1.0 g/mol) initially at 28.0°
Likurg_2 [28]

The final temperature of the mixture : 21.1° C  

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The law of conservation of energy can be applied to heat changes, i.e. the heat received / absorbed is the same as the heat released  

Q in(gained) = Q out(lost)  

Heat can be calculated using the formula:  

Q = mc∆T  

Q = heat, J  

m = mass, g  

c = specific heat, joules / g ° C  

∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K  

Q ethanol=Q water

mass ethanol=

\tt mass=\rho\times V\\\\mass=0.789\times 45=35.505~g

mass water =

\tt mass=1~g/ml\times 45~ml=45~g

then the heat transfer :

\tt 35.505\times 2.42~J/g^oC\times (t-6)=45\times 4.18~J/g^oC\times (28-t)\\\\85.922t-515.533=5266.8-188.1t\\\\274.022t=5782.33\rightarrow t=21.1^oC

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Phosphoric acid reacts with magnesium hydroxide to produce magnesium phosphate and water via the following reaction:

2H3PO4 + 3Mg(OH)2 → Mg3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

(solid) (solid) (solid) (liquid)

<h3>Explaination:</h3>

This is a typical neutralization reaction of an acid with a base to form a salt and water. The reaction is exothermic, gives off heat,

ΔH < 0 , and may be balanced by adding balancing numbers in front, ie adding molecules, in order to ensure that the total number of atoms of each element is the same on the left and right hand sides of the equation.

Doing so we obtain :

2H3PO4 + 3Mg(OH)2 → Mg3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

(solid) (solid) (solid) (liquid)

makkiz [27]

Answer:

Genotypes: Homozygous (GG)=50%, Heterozygous (Gg)=50%.

Phenotypes: Homozygous gray (GG)=50%, Heterozygous gray (Gg)=50% or just Gray=100%

Explanation:

Hello,

The Punnett square for this cross turns into:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}&G&g\\G&GG&Gg\\G&GG&Gg\end{array}\right]

It means that the genotypes and phenotypes are:

Genotypes: Homozygous (GG)=50%, Heterozygous (Gg)=50%.

Phenotypes: Homozygous gray (GG)=50%, Heterozygous gray (Gg)=50% or just Gray=100%

Best regards.
