Which is a valid reason why total dissolved solids (TDS) cannot be accurately calculated by conductivity alone?

Chemistry
1 answer:
uranmaximum [27]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct option is the last option (Some dissolved solids may be nonelectrolytes)

Explanation:

<u>Total dissolved solids (TDS) cannot be calculated by conductivity alone because conductivity involves ionic charges and there are solids that dissolve in water but do not carry ionic charges (and thus form non-electrolytes)</u>. Examples include sucrose (common sugar) and glucose. These two solids will dissolve in water but would not form ions that will carry ionic charges which are responsible for conductivity. Thus, if TDS only depends solely on conductivity, then a solution that contains dissolved sucrose will be wrongly accounted for as the sucrose will be omitted from the dissolved substances.

When 7.085 grams of a hydrocarbon, CxHy, were burned in a combustion analysis apparatus, 21.71 grams of CO2 and 10.37 grams of H
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

- Empirical:

C_3H_7

- Molecular:

C_6H_{14}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, based on the information regarding the combustion, the moles of carbon turn out:

n_C=21.71gCO_2*\frac{1molCO_2}{44gCO_2}*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2}=0.493molC

Moreover, the moles of hydrogen:

n_H=10.37gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O}*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}=1.152molH

Thus, the subscripts of carbon and hydrogen in the hydrocarbon turn out:

C=\frac{0.4934}{0.4934}=1\\H=\frac{1.15222}{0.4934}=2.335\\CH_{2.335}

Now, looking for a suitable whole number we obtain the following empirical formula as 2.335 times 3 is 7 for hydrogen:

C_3H_7

In such a way, that compound has a molar mass of 43 g/mol, thus, the whole compound's molar mass is 86.18 g/mol for which the molecular formula is twice the empirical one, therefore:

C_6H_{14}

Which is hexane.

Best regards.

Sulfur has an atomic number of 16 what is the ground-state electron configuration of sulfur​
guapka [62]

Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4

Explanation:

For ground state atoms you need to fill the orbitals in order.

Orbital s has max 2 electrons

Orbital p has max 6 electrons

Level 1 only has s orbital

Level 2 has s and p orbitals

Level 3 has s, p and d orbitals

You fill them in order until you reach 16 electrons:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4
