The answer is H₃C₆H₅O₇ (OPTION D).
In essence, the question is asking which of the options is an acid or a neutral compound; thus not a base. A base is a compound that accepts free hydrogen ions while in aqueous solution and as such they usually lack hydrogen ions that can be released in solution. If you ionize all the compounds/molecules above, the only on that has free hydrogen ions is OPTION D (which is an organic acid and not a base).
Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution
number of NaOH moles present - 0.20 mol
volume of solution - 150 mL
since molarity is taken as number moles of solute in 1000 mL
if 150 mL contains - 0.20 mol
then 1000 mL should contain - 0.20 / 150 x 1000 = 1.33 mol
therefore molarity is 1.33 M
To get the empirical formula of this compound, we take a basis of 100 grams which means each percentage is equivalent to 1 gram. Hence there is 32.39 grams sodium, 22. 53 grams sulfur and 45.07 grams oxygen. We convert each mass to their moles by dividing by their respective molar mass. Na: 1.408, S:0.704 and O:2.82. divide each with the lowest: Na: 2: S: 1 and O:4. Hence the formula is Na2SO4.
For an object to conduct electricity it should have free or delocalised electrons that are free to pass the charge and hence take part in conducting electricity.
From the given choices
Chlorine is a halogen existing as a diatomic gas. Iodine too is a halogen and 2 Iodine atoms held together by covalent bond. Cl - Cl bonds and I-I bonds are covalent bonds. the outer electrons of Cl and I take part in covalent bonds therefore they are fixed and not free to move about. therefore no free electrons to conduct electricity.
Sulfur is a solid that too is held together by covalent bonds so it does not have free electrons to conduct electricity.
Silver is a metal and a general property of metals are their ability to conduct electricity.
metal structure are metal ions tightly packed together. when the metal atoms are tightly packed their valence electrons are removed and delocalised. Positively charged metal ions are embedded in a sea of delocalised electrons.
therefore there are delocalised electrons that can conduct electricity
answer is 3) silver
