Explain why HCl can be a strong electrolyte, but a dilute HCl solution can be a poor conductor?

Chemistry
1 answer:
zloy xaker [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Because as the concentration is diminished, the capacity to transfer electricity is diminished as well.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since electrolytes are substances that are able to conduct the electricity in aqueous media (solutions in which water is the the solvent) because they have the capacity to form ions with both positive and negative charges, due to the fact that HCl is a strong acid, we notice it is fully ionized in solution and therefore it is a strong electrolyte. However, when the concentration is diminished, we can notice that strength is diminished as well because less ions will have the capacity to transfer the electricity and therefore it'd become a poor conductor or weak electrolyte.

Best regards!

Three solutions contain a certain acid. The first contains 10% acid, the second 30%, and the third 50%. A chemist wishes to use
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

To prepare 50L of 32% solution you need: 11L of 30% solution, 22L of 50% solution and 17L of 10% solution.

Explanation:

A 32% solution of acid means 32L of acid per 100L of solution. As the chemist wants to make a solution using twice as much of the 50% solution as of the 30% solution it is possible to write:

2x*50% + x*30% + y*10% = 50L*32%

<em>130x + 10y = 1600 </em><em>(1)</em>

<em>-Where x are volume of 30% solution, 2x volume of 50% solution and y volume of 10% solution-</em>

Also, it is possible to write a formula using the total volume (50L), thus:

<em>2x + x +y = 50L</em>

<em>3x + y = 50L </em><em>(2)</em>

If you replace (2) in (1):

130x + 10(50-3x) = 1600

100x + 500 = 1600

100x = 1100

<em>x = 11L -Volume of 30% solution-</em>

2x = 22L -Volume of 50% solution-

50L - 22L - 11L = 17 L -Volume of 10% solution-

I hope it helps!

Which of the following electron configurations are written incorrectly?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

The electronic configuration that are incorrectly written is 1s²2s³2p⁶, 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷, 3s¹ and 2s²2p⁴.

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of the elements corresponds to how all the electrons of an element are arranged in energy levels and sub-levels.

There are 7 energy levels —from 1 to 7— whose sublevels are described as s, p, d and f.

All electronic configurations begin with the term "1s" —corresponding to the sublevel s of level 1— so 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷, 3s¹ and 2s²2p⁴ are incorrectly written. In addition, 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷ is written incorrectly because is impossible to jump from the sublevel "s" to the sublevel "d" —which is found from level 3 and up— without passing through the sublevel "p".

In the case of 1s²2s³2p⁶, the wrong thing is that the sublevel "s" can only hold two electrons, not three.

The other options are correctly written.

coldgirl [10]

Explanation:

Atomic number , protons and electrons have the same value / their value is same .

But for the neutron there is no specific technique. You have to remember the neutrons of every element
