Substances that can carry electric current under some conditions but not under others are called semiconductors.

1 answer:

8 0

A semiconductor is a substance, usually a solid chemical element or compound, that can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others, making it a good medium for the control of electrical current. Silicon is a very common element -- for example, it is the main element in sand and quartz.

The boiling point of water is 100ºC. The boiling point of acetone is 56ºC. Which statement about distilling a mixture of acetone

Anika [276]

Answer:

I think Acetone will be captured and cooled.

Explanation:

Distillation is a method of separation based on the difference in boiling point of two liquids.

The liquid that has a lower boiling point is first separated from the mixture. It vaporizes, cooled and collected before the liquid that has a higher boiling point.

In this case, acetone is captured and cooled before water since it has a boiling point of 56ºC and water has a boiling point of 100ºC.

Solid NaI is slowly added to a solution that is 0.0079 M Cu+ and 0.0087 M Ag+.Which compound will begin to precipitate first?NaI

NeTakaya

Answer :

AgI should precipitate first.

The concentration of $Ag^+$ when CuI just begins to precipitate is, $6.64\times 10^{-7}M$

Percent of $Ag^+$ remains is, 0.0076 %

Explanation :

$K_{sp}$ for CuI is $1\times 10^{-12}$

$K_{sp}$ for AgI is $8.3\times 10^{-17}$

As we know that these two salts would both dissociate in the same way. So, we can say that as the Ksp value of AgI has a smaller than CuI then AgI should precipitate first.

Now we have to calculate the concentration of iodide ion.

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

$CuI\rightleftharpoons Cu^++I^-$
