explain why ionic compounds are not electrical conductors in the solid state, but conduct electricity when dissolved.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alik [6]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Hi !

Here is your answer !

Ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity when solid, as their ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten (liquid) or in aqueous solution (dissolved in water), because their ions are free to move from place to place.

Thank You !

A 0.334 g sample of an unknown halogen occupies 109 mL at 398 K and 1.41 atm. What is the identity of the halogen?
kolezko [41]
We can use the ideal gas law equation for the above reaction to find the number of moles present 
PV = nRT 
P - pressure - 1.41 atm x 101325 Pa/atm = 142 868 Pa
V - 109 x 10⁻⁶ m³
R - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - 398 K
substituting the values in the equation 
142 868 Pa x 109 x 10⁻⁶ m³ = n x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 398 K
n = 4.70 x 10⁻³ mol
number of moles = mass present / molar mass
molar mass = mass / number of moles  
                   = 0.334 g/ 4.70 x 10⁻³ mol = 71.06 g/mol
halogens exist as diatomic molecules 
Therefore atomic mass - 71.06 / 2 = 35.5 
halogen with 35.5 g/mol is Cl
unknown halogen is Cl

Who much the velocity of a body when it travels 600m in 5 min​
Gwar [14]

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

Applying the formulae of velocity,

V = d/t............. Equation 1

Where V = Velocity of the body, d = distance, t = time

From the question,

Given: d = 600 m, t = 5 minutes = (5×60) = 300 seconds.

Substitute these values into equation 1

V = 600/300

V = 2 m/s.

Hence the velocity of the body when it travels is 2 m/s
