Explain why solid sodium chloride does not conduct electricity

Chemistry
1 answer:
aleksandr82 [10.1K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

It does not contain free mobile ions

Explanation:

Solid sodium chloride does not conduct electricity because it does not contain free mobile ions.

  • Although sodium chloride is an ionic compound, in solid state, there is absence of free mobile ions.
  • In aqueous solutions or in molten form, ionic compounds can conduct an electric current using free mobile ions as carriers.
  • Therefore, they are electrolytes.

In solid state ions are arranged into crystal lattice and will not conduct a current of electricity.

Answer:

d = Hydrogen and oxygen are being formed.

Explanation:

When current is passed through the water electrolysis take place.

Water is splitted into hydrogen and oxygen gas. Because of this formation bubbles are formed.

At cathode:

2H₂O + 2e⁻  → H₂ + 2OH⁻

Cathode is negatively charged and reduction take place on it.

At anode:

4OH⁻ → O₂ + 2H₂O + 4e⁻

Anode is positively charged and oxidation take place on it.

The over all reaction can be written as:

Chemical equation:

2H₂O  (electricity) →  2H₂  +  O₂

What is the molar mass of MnP
igomit [66]

The production of manganese peroxidase (MnP) by Irpex lacteus, purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by acetone precipitation, HiPrep Q and HiPrep Sephacryl S-200 chromatography, was shown to correlate with the decolorization of textile industry wastewater. The MnP was purified 11.0-fold, with an overall yield of 24.3%. The molecular mass of the native enzyme, as determined by gel filtration chromatography, was about 53 kDa. The enzyme was shown to have a molecular mass of 53.2 and 38.3 kDa on SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, respectively, and an isoelectric point of about 3.7. The enzyme was optimally active at pH 6.0 and between 30 and 40 degrees C. The enzyme efficiently catalyzed the decolorization of various artificial dyes and oxidized Mn (II) to Mn (III) in the presence of H(2)O(2). The absorption spectrum of the enzyme exhibited maxima at 407, 500, and 640 nm. The amino acid sequence of the three tryptic peptides was analyzed by ESI Q-TOF MS/MS spectrometry, and showed low similarity to those of the extracellular peroxidases of other white-rot basidiomycetes.
