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.

Carbon dioxide and water react to form bicarbonate ion and hydronium ion. Hyperventilation (rapid breathing) causes more carbon

Juliette [100K]

Hyperventilation will blow off carbon dioxide which reduces the alkaline component of the blood, resulting in acidosis and a lower blood pH. (See Andromeda Strain). This is why re-breathing into a bag to increase carbon dioxide in your blood will make you feel less faint. Basically It increases the pH ... you can look at CO2 as an acid ... and when reduced ... alkalinization of the pH occurs
