Answer:

The correct answer is B.)Potassium iodide in water

Explanation:

An electrolyte is a compound that can dissociate into ions when is dissolved in a solvent. The resulting solution has the ability to conduct the electricity because there are electrical charges (ions) in the solvent. The most common electrolytes are soluble salts.

From the options, methanol (A), pentane (C) and sucrose (D) are organic compounds that cannot be dissociated into ions in the solvents in which are soluble. The only correct option is (B), because potassium iodide (KI) is a soluble salt that disociates into ions (K⁺ and I⁻) when is dissolved in water:

KI → K⁺ + I⁻

Two examples of energy transformations are shown.
erastova [34]

The energy transformations are similar because they result into radiant energy.

As for the lamp, Electrical energy is transformed into light when the filament

or mercury vapor glows on passage of current.

The fire- chemical energy is turned to light energy during the combustion of carbon.  Both products comprise of ultraviolet radiation which is a form of radiant energy.

What happens when the temperature changes from cold to hot in most substances
amm1812

Answer:

<h2>When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. ... Solids, liquids and gases all expand when heat is added.☺</h2>

What is the empirical formula for CaCo3?*
GalinKa [24]

This problem is requiring the empirical formula for CaCO₃, which is its molecular formula, and turns out to be equal, this is A. CaCO3 according to the following:

<h3>Empirical formulas:</h3><h3 />

In chemistry, molecular formulas show both the actual type and number of atoms in a chemical compound, based on the elements across the periodic table and the subscripts standing for the number of atoms in the compound.

However, the empirical formula is a reduced expression of the molecular one, which shows the minimum number of atoms in a compound after simplifying to the smallest whole numbers.

In such a way, since the given compound is CaCO₃ and both Ca and C have a one as their subscript, it is not possible to simplify any further and therefore the empirical formula equals the molecular one this time, making the answer to be A. CaCO3.
