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 balloon at sea level on earth (1 atm pressure, 19°C) takes up 14.5 L of space. The balloon travels to Mars where atmospheric p
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

1807.24L

Explanation:

Using combined gas law equation:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Where;

P1 = pressure on Earth

P2 = Pressure on Mars

V1 = volume on Earth

V2 = volume on Mars

T1 = temperature on Earth

T2 = temperature on Mars

According to the information provided of the balloon in this question;

P1 = 1 atm

P2 = 4.55 torr = 4.55/760 = 0.00599atm

V1 = 14.5L

V2 = ?

T1 = 19°C = 19 + 273 = 292K

T2 = -55°C = -55 + 273 = 218K

Using P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

1 × 14.5/292 = 0.00599 × V2/218

14.5/292 = 0.00599V2/218

Cross multiply

14.5 × 218 = 292 × 0.00599V2

3161 = 1.74908V2

V2 = 3161 ÷ 1.74908

V2 = 1807.24L

Why are pipes bursting in the in extremely cold weather?
avanturin [10]

Water is the only common substance that when you freeze it, it's volume INCREASES.

When the pipe originally held the "all full" volume and the the water expanded, it put a tremendous amount of pressure on the pipe. Enough pressure and the pipe would burst.

The value of the solubility product constant for Ag2CO3 is 8.5 × 10‒12 and that of Ag2CrO4 is 1.1 × 10‒12. From this data, what
Lena [83]

Answer:

B) 7.7

Explanation:

For the reaction    Ag2CO3(s) + CrO42‒(aq) → Ag2CrO4(s) + CO32‒(aq)

Kc = (CO₃²⁻) / (CrO₄²⁻)

and the Ksp given are

Ag₂CO₃    ⇒  2 Ag⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)    Ksp₁ = (Ag⁺)²(CO₃²⁻)  

Ag₂CrO₄   ⇒  2 Ag⁺(aq)+ CrO₄²⁻(aq)   Ksp₂ = (Ag⁺)²(CrO₄²⁻)

Where (...) indicate concentrations M

Notice if we divide the expressions for Ksp we get:

Ksp₁/Ksp₂ = (CO₃²⁻)  / (CrO₄²⁻) = 8.5 x 10⁻¹² / 1.1 x 10⁻¹² = 7.7

which is the desired answer.
