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!

Let's say that you were given the following

mezya [45]

Answer:

V2~0.4839M

Explanation:

We're going to use Boyles law to answer the question.

Boyle's law:

P1V1=P2V2

P1=151mmHg

P2=166mmHg

V1=0.532L

V2=?

V2=(P1 x V1)/P2

V2=(151 x 0.532)/166

V2~0.4839M

Hope it helps:)

If you had a sample containing 55 alpha particles, how many protons would be present in that sample? Show all necessary work.

arlik [135]

An alpha particle is a helium nucleus without the electrons - 2 neutrons and 2 protons.

So, all you would have to do is 2 x 55, which equals 110.

13. A mixture of MgCO3 and MgCO3.3H2O has a mass of 3.883 g. After heating to drive off all the water the mass is 2.927 g. What

rjkz [21]

Answer:

63.05% of MgCO3.3H2O by mass

Explanation:

of MgCO3.3H2O in the mixture?

The difference in masses after heating the mixture = Mass of water. With the mass of water we can find its moles and the moles and mass of MgCO3.3H2O to find the mass percent as follows:

Mass water:

3.883g - 2.927g = 0.956g water

Moles water -18.01g/mol-

0.956g water * (1mol/18.01g) = 0.05308 moles H2O.

Moles MgCO3.3H2O:

0.05308 moles H2O * (1mol MgCO3.3H2O / 3mol H2O) =

0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O

Mass MgCO3.3H2O -Molar mass: 138.3597g/mol-

0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O * (138.3597g/mol) = 2.448g MgCO3.3H2O

Mass percent:

2.448g MgCO3.3H2O / 3.883g Mixture * 100 =
