Which solution will conduct electric current a sugar solution or a salt solution

1 answer:

6 0

Sugar is a nonconductor. When it dissolves into water it dissolves as a covalent molecule. As a covalent molecule it does not conduct electricity in the way that ionic compounds like salt would.

A 0.15 m solution of chloroacetic acid has a ph of 1.86. What is the value of ka for this acid?

dem82 [27]

Answer: $1.67\times 10^{-3}$

Explanation:

$ClCH_2COOH\rightarrow ClCH_2COO^-+H^+$

cM 0 0

$c-c\alpha$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

So dissociation constant will be:

$K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}$

Given: c = 0.15 M

pH = 1.86

$K_a$ = ?

Putting in the values we get:

Also $pH=-log[H^+]$

$1.86=-log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=0.01$

$[H^+]=c\times \alpha$

$0.01=0.15\times \alpha$

$\alpha=0.06$

As $[H^+]=[ClCH_2COO^-]=0.01$

$K_a=\frac{(0.01)^2}{(0.15-0.15\times 0.06)}$

$K_a=1.67\times 10^{-3]$

Thus the vale of $K_a$ for the acid is $1.67\times 10^{-3}$

Well physical would be if you have Clay and you molded into a new shape or if you put butter on your toes and it melts or water evaporating from the surface of the ocean chemical changes would be milk going sour jewellery tarnishing which means turning into a different color or rust bread putting it in the oven and turning it into toes or rust forming on the nail that is left outside
