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

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 !

Which response includes all of the following processes that are accompanied by an increase in entropy?
dlinn [17]

Answer:

1 and 3.

Explanation:

The entropy measures the randomness of the system, as higher is it, as higher is the entropy. The randomness is associated with the movement and the arrangement of the molecules. Thus, if the molecules are moving faster and are more disorganized, the randomness is greater.

So, the entropy (S) of the phases increases by:

S solid < S liquid < S gases.

1. The substance is going from solid to gas, thus the entropy is increasing.

2. The substance is going from a disorganized way (the molecules of I are disorganized) to an organized way (the molecules join together to form I2), thus the entropy is decreasing.

3. The molecules go from an organized way (the atom are joined together) to a disorganized way, thus the entropy increases.

4. The ions are disorganized and react to form a more organized molecule, thus the entropy decreases.

What is the concept of galactic recycling?
frozen [14]
Galactic recycling is a natural phenomenon in which the stars expel some gas into the space so that it would mix with the interstellar medium. As a result, this would produce new younger stars. So, basically, the concept done here is the mass and energy conservation. In order to create new species, the energy must come from another source.

Relative to electrons and electron states, what does each of the four quantum numbers specify
Alla [95]

Answer:

(n, l, m sub l, m sub s)

N: principle quantum number (1,2,3,4,etc)

l: angular momentum quantum number, the shape (l has to be at least 1 less than n, but can be 0 depending on n)

M sub l: magnetic quantum number (l determines this number)

M sub s: spin quantum number (can only ever be 1/2 or -1/2)

What is the specific heat of a substance if 25 grams rises in temperature from 10 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees with the additio
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

0.75 cal/g°c

Explanation:

for specific heat we have formula:

Amount of heat absorbed or released = mass x specific heat of a substance x change in temperature.

ΔQ=m x c x ΔT

where c= specific heat

m= mass of a substance

ΔT = total temperature

ΔQ = Amount of heat

so for specific heat,

c= ΔQ/mxΔT

c= 280/25x (25-10)

c= 280/375

c= 0.75 cal/g°c
