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 !

Korolek [52]

The rate of disappearance of chlorine gas : 0.2 mol/dm³

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The reaction rate (v) shows the change in the concentration of the substance (changes in addition to concentrations for reaction products or changes in concentration reduction for reactants) per unit time.

For reaction :

\tt aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD

The rate reaction :

\tt -\dfrac{1}{a}\dfrac{d[-A]}{dt}= -\dfrac{1}{b}\dfrac{d[-B]}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{c}\dfrac{d[C]}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{d}\dfrac{d[D]}{dt}

Reaction for formation CCl₄ :

<em>CH₄+4Cl₂⇒CCl₄+4HCl</em>

<em />

From equation, rate of reaction = rate of formation CCl₄ = 0.05 mol/dm³

Rate of formation of  CCl₄  = reaction rate x coefficient of  CCCl₄

0.05 mol/dm³ = reaction rate x 1⇒reaction rate = 0.05 mol/dm³

The rate of disappearance of chlorine gas (Cl₂) :

Rate of disappearance of  Cl₂  = reaction rate x coefficient of  Cl₂

Rate of disappearance of  Cl₂ = 0.05 x 4 = 0.2 mol/dm³
