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!

Selenium (Se) has 30 protons and 20 neutrons in each atom, therefore its atomic

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

30, 50

Explanation:

Hello,

In this since an element's atomic number is equal to the number of protons in its atom, we can infer that selenium's atomic number is 30. Moreover, due to the fact the the neutrons are equal to the atomic mass minus the atomic number or the number of protons, by knowing the number of neutrons we compute the atomic as follows:

$neutrons=mass-protons\\\\mass=neutrons+protons\\\\mass=30+20\\\\mass=50a.m.u$

Thus, answer is 30, 50.

Best regards.

If 10.62 mL of a standard 0.3330 M KOH solution reacts with 98.20 mL of CH3COOH solution, what is the molarity of the acid solut

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

0.036 M of $CH_{3} COOH$

Explanation:

It is an example of acid-base neutralization reaction.

KOH + $CH_{3} COOH$ ----> $CH_{3} COO^{-} K^{+}$ + $H_{2}O$

Base Acid Salt

When two component react then the number of moles of both the component should be same, therefore the number of moles and acids and bases should be the same in the following .

Molarity= $\frac{\textrm{No. of Moles}}{\textrm{Volume of the Particular Solution}}$
