A certain type of material allows electricity to flow through it, but it does not flow quickly or easily through it. Is the mate

rial a good or poor conductor? Does it have a low or high resistance?

A substance through which an electrical current flows poorly would be said to be a poor conductor. That is, the substance has a low conductance (or conductivity). There’s a nuance between the two terms, but it shouldn’t matter for our purposes.

Since such a material resists the flow of electric charge, the material can be said to have a high resistance (or high resistivity).

Mathematically, resistance and conductance are reciprocals of one another; a low conductance implies a high resistance, and a high conductance implies a low resistance.

What is the molarity of a solution in which 25.3 grams of potassium bromide is dissolved in 150. mL of solution?
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

~1.417M

Explanation:

Molarity=(number of moles of solute)/(litres of solution)

In this case, we need to find moles of potassium bromide.

Mass=25.3g

Molar mass= 119g/mol

moles=(mass/molar mass)

        =(25.3)/(119)

        =0.2126moles of potassium bromide

Molarity=(0.2126)/(150/1000)

       ~1.417M

Hope this helps:)

If the same amount of heat is added to 25.0 g of each of the metals, which are all at the same initial temperature, which metal
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The bismuth sample.

Explanation:

The specific heat c of a substance (might not be a metal) is the amount of heat required for heating a unit mass of this substance by unit temperature (e.g., \rm 1\; ^{\circ}C.) The formula for specific heat is:

\displaystyle c = \frac{Q}{m \cdot \Delta T},

where

  • Q is the amount of heat supplied.
  • m is the mass of the sample.
  • \Delta T is the increase in temperature.

In this question, the value of Q (amount of heat supplied to the metal) and m (mass of the metal sample) are the same for all four metals. To find \Delta T (change in temperature,) rearrange the equation:

\displaystyle c \cdot \Delta T = \frac{Q}{m},

\displaystyle \Delta T = \frac{Q}{c \cdot m}.

In other words, the change in temperature of the sample, \Delta T can be expressed as a fraction. Additionally, the specific heat of sample, c, is in the denominator of that fraction. Hence, the value of the fraction would be the largest for sample with the smallest specific heat.

Make sure that all the specific heat values are in the same unit. Find the one with the smallest specific heat: bismuth (\rm 0.123 \; J \cdot g\cdot \,^{\circ}C^{-1}.) That sample would have the greatest increase in temperature. Since all six samples started at the same temperature, the bismuth sample would also have the highest final temperature.

Consider a neutrally charged atom that has an atomic mass number of 80, which includes 35 neutrons. how many electrons does this
ivanzaharov [21]
Atomic mass number is the number of protons and neutrons. Subtract 80-35=45 is the number of protons. Because the atom is neutrally charged, the number of protons must equal the number of electrons, so there are 45 electrons.

What is the volume of 1.56 kg of a compound whose molar mass is 81.86 g/mole and whose density is 41.2 g/ml?
hjlf

Answer:

v = 37.9 ml

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of compound = 1.56 kg

Density = 41.2 g/ml

Volume of compound = ?

Solution:

First of all we will convert the mass into g.

1.56 ×1000 = 1560 g

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

v = m/d

v =  1560 g / 41.2 g/ml

v = 37.9 ml
