Answer:

1. NaCl .

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, it is necessary to keep in mind that just ionic compounds are able to conduct electricity and therefore, the more ionic the compound is, the more electricity it conducts. In such a way, we may be able to predict how ionic these compounds are, considering that the electronegativity increases from bottom to top and from left to right.

1. NaCl: this is the most ionic compound since it is at the leftmost group and bonded with chlorine, so this is the most conductive one.

2. Mg(CIO3)2: Mg is bonded to O, not to Cl, which makes the compound ionic but not as ionic as NaCl.

3. NiCl: Ni is more electronegative than Na and Mg, so even when this is ionic, it is not as ionic as NaCl.

4. CaCl2: This is similar to NaCl but since Ca is in group 2A, it is more electronegative than Na, which makes CaCl2 conductive but not as much as NaCl.

Best regards!

Which kind of climate do the most stable ecosystems tend to have?

Ganezh [65]

B because the climate has to be pretty balanced and if it’s too cold it won’t be habitable and if the climate is too hot it won’t be habitable aswell

an aqueous solution contains 1.2mM of total ions. if the solution is NaCl (aq), what is the concentration of chloride ions?

Genrish500 [490]

Explanation:

As the total concentration is given as 1.2 mM. And, it is also given that salt present in the solution is NaCl.

As sodium chloride is an ionic compound so, when it is added to water then it will dissociate into sodium and chlorine ions as follows.

$NaCl \rightarrow Na^{+} + Cl^{-}$

So, it means in total there will be formation of 2 ions when one molecules of NaCl dissociates.

Therefore, concentration of chlorine ions will be calculated as follows.

Concentration of $Cl^{-}$ ions = $\frac{1.2mM}{2}$

= 0.6 mM

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of chloride ions is 0.6 mM.

Which choice is not an example of a molecule?

ad-work [718]

You don’t have any answer chooses listed but i’ll say F isn’t a molecule because it stands for fluorine which happens to be an element that only has one atom when a molecule is supposed to have two or more atoms.

A sample of natural rubber (200.0 g) is vulcanized, with the complete consumption of 4.8 g of sulfur. Natural rubber is a polyme

nasty-shy [4]

Answer: 1.3% many crosslinks as isoprene units,

Explanation:

Given:

mass pf natural rubber= 200.0g

mass of sulphur = 4.8g

molar mass of sulphur =32g/mol

molar mass of isoprene = C5H8=( 12x5) +(1x8)= 68g/mol
