Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The explanation for why solid sodium chloride can't conduct electricity while molten sodium chloride can is explained below:

Ionic compounds that are in their solid state like sodium chloride have their ions fixed in position. Due to this reason, the able to move, therefore we can say that the solid ionic compounds cannot be able to conduct electricity.

On the other hand, ionic compounds in their molten state, are free to flow unlike when they're in their solid state and therefore we can say that molten sodium chloride can be able to conduct electricity.

kondor19780726 [428]

Each alka-seltzer tablet contains 324 mg of aspirin. Three alka-seltzer tablet contains (3 x 324)mg= 972 mg of aspirin= 0.972 g of aspirin.

Molecular formula of aspirin is C₉H₈O₄. Molar mass of aspirin is (9 x 12)+(8 x 1)+(4 x 16) g/ mol= 180 g/mol.

180 g of aspirin contains 1 mole of aspirin molecules i.e, 6.023 X 10²³ number of aspirin molecules.  So, three alka-seltzer tablet that is 0.972 g of aspirin contains (0.972 X 6.023 X 10²³)/180 =3.25 X 10²¹ number of aspirin molecules.
