Answer:
- <em>A compound that conducts an electric current in aqueous solution or in the molten state is</em> a <u>ionic compound</u>.
Explanation:
Some examples of ionic compounds are NaCl, KF, KI, MgSO₄.
Ionic compounds are formed by positivie ions (named cations) and negative ions (named anions). The strong electrostatic atraction between cations and anions permits the formation of crystals, which are stuctures characterized by a regular pattern. In solid state the ions are in fixed positions.
In order to conduct electricity, the charged particles (cations and anions in the case of the ionic compounds) need to move freely.
Hence, since in solid state, ionic compounds do not conduct electric current. But, <em>in molten (liquid) state or in aqueous solution, ionic compounds conduct electric current because, then, the ions move freely.</em>

We will use Boyle's law that states that for a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional.
P1 V1 = P2 V2
Where
P1 is initial pressure = 5 psi
V1 is initial volume = 20 cubic inch
P2 is final pressure = 10 psi
V2 is final volume = unknown
V2 = P1,V1 / P2
V2 = 20 × 5 / 10
V2 = 100/10
V2 = 10 cubic inches
A 72 kg athlete climbs a rope to a height of 12m. Calculate the increase in gravitational potential energy it has experienced.
Answer:
8467.2J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the athlete = 72kg
Height of the climb = 12m
Unknown:
Increase in gravitational potential energy it has experienced = ?
Solution:
Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. It is mathematically expressed as;
Gravitational potential energy = m x g x h
m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
h is the height
Insert the parameters and solve;
Gravitational potential energy = 72 x 9.8 x 12
GPE = 8467.2J
Answer:
191.6 g of CaCl₂.
Explanation:
What is given?
Mass of HCl = 125.9 g.
Molar mass of CaCl₂ = 110.8 g/mol.
Molar mass of HCl = 36.4 g/mol.
Step-by-step solution:
First, we have to state the chemical equation. Ca(OH)₂ react with HCl to produce CaCl₂:
Now, let's convert 125.9 g of HCl to moles using the given molar mass (remember that the molar mass of a compound can be found using the periodic table). The conversion will look like this:
Let's find how many moles of CaCl₂ are being produced by 3.459 moles of HCl. You can see in the chemical equation that 2 moles of HCl reacted with excess Ca(OH)₂ produces 1 mol of CaCl₂, so we state a rule of three and the calculation is:
The final step is to find the mass of CaCl₂ using the molar mass of CaCl₂. This conversion will look like this:
The answer would be that we're producing a mass of 191.6 g of CaCl₂.
