5. Why are lonic compounds good conductors of electricity?

Chemistry

Answer:

The options are unclear, however, the correct option is:

Aqueous solutions of ionic compounds cause to dissociate, hence, ions are free to conduct electricity

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are compounds formed from ions (charged atoms). For example, NaCl is an ionic compound from the following ions; Na+ (cation) and Cl- (anion). One characteristics of ionic compounds is their ability to dissociate into the ions that form them when in an aqueous solution i.e. NaCl will dissociate into Na+ and Cl- when in an aqueous solution.

These disssociated ions are free to conduct electricity, hence, making ionic compounds good conductors of electricity.

To test the purity of sodium bicarbonate, you dissolve a 3.50g sample in water and add sulfuric acid. if 1.04g of carbon dioxide
Andrews [41]

Answer is: the percent purity of the sodium bicarbonate is 56.83 %.

1. Chemical reaction: 2NaHCO₃ + H₂SO₄ → 2CO₂ + 2H₂O + Na₂SO₄.

2. m(NaHCO₃) = 3.50 g

n(NaHCO₃) = m(NaHCO₃) ÷ M(NaHCO₃).

n(NaHCO₃) = 3.50 g ÷ 84 g/mol.

n(NaHCO₃) = 0.042 mol.

3. From chemical reaction: n(NaHCO₃) : n(CO₂) = 1 : 1.

n(CO₂) = 0.042 mol.

m(CO₂) = 0.042 mol · 44 g/mol.

m(CO₂) = 1.83 g.

4. the percent purity = 1.04 g/1.83 g  ·100%.

the percent purity = 56.8 %.

in the following reaction, how many grams of benzene (C6H6) will produce 42 grams of CO2? 2C6H6 + 15O2 → 12CO2 + 6H2O
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: -

12.41 g

Explanation: -

Mass of CO₂ = 42 g

Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 x 1 + 16 x 2 = 44 g / mol

Number of moles of CO₂ = \frac{42}{44 g/mol}

= 0.9545 mol

The balanced chemical equation for this process is

2C₆H₆ + 15O₂ → 12CO₂ + 6H₂O

From the balanced chemical equation we see

12 mol of CO₂ is produced from 2 mol of C₆H₆

0.9545 mol of CO₂ is produced from \frac{2 mol C6H6 x 0.9545 mol  CO2}{12 mol CO2}

= 0.159 mol of C₆H₆

Molar mass of C₆H₆ = 12 x 6 + 1 x 6 =78 g /mol

Mass of C₆H₆ =Molar mass x Number of moles

= 78 g / mol x 0.159 mol

= 12.41 g

Explain why some pesticides bioaccumulate whereas others do not
KatRina [158]
Bioaccumulation refers to the accumulation of chemicals in a living organism. The compound or chemical accumulates at a rate faster than it is being metabolized or excreted by the organism. Chemicals bioaccumulate by binding to the proteins and fats in an organism while others bioaccumulate through the repeated consumption of contaminated organisms. 

Pesticides containing chemicals that dissolve easily in fat but not in water tend to bioaccumulate. Pesticides that contain chemicals that can easily be metabolized by organisms do not bioaccumulate. In summary, the nature of the chemical used in pesticides and the capability of organisms to metabolize the said chemicals can dictate whether it will bioaccumulate or not.
