Identify the following elements based on the information provided:

Why are most solid ionic compounds electrically nonconductive, whereas aqueous solutions of ionic compounds are good conductors

Allisa [31]

Answer:

there must be free-moving electrons in a compound to conduct electricity.

in solid ionic compounds, there are no free electrons so it can't conduct electricity.

But in aqueous form the forces of attraction are broken and the ions (cations and anions) are free to move. This means there are free electrons that allow the aqueous compound to conduct electricity.

List the number of each type of atom on the left side of the equation 2C10H22(l)+31O2(g)→20CO2(g)+22H2O(g)

Leokris [45]

Answer:

20, 44, 62

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms of each element, we multiply coefficient and subscript

For example $5 Ca_1 Cl_2$ contains

5 × 1 = 5 ,Ca atoms and

5 × 2 = 10, Cl atoms

If there is a bracket in the chemical formula

For example $3Ca_3 (P_1 O_4 )_2$

we multiply coefficient × subscript × number outside the bracket to find the number of atoms

(Please note: 3 is the coefficient, and if there is no number given then 1 will be the coefficient )

So

3 × 3 = 9 , Ca atoms

3 × 1 × 2 = 6, P atoms

3 × 4 × 2 = 24, O atoms are present.

So let us find the number of atoms of each element on the left side of the equation

$2C_{10} H_{22} (l)+31O_2 (g)\Rightarrow 20CO_2 (g)+22H_2 O(g)$

Number of C atoms = 2 × 10 = 20

Number of H atoms = 2 × 22 = 44

Number of O atoms = 31 × 2 = 62

20, 44, 62 are the Answers.

In the second step of this reaction, isocyanic acid reacts to form melamine and carbon dioxide: hnco(l)→c3n3(nh2)3(l)+co2(g) bal

slava [35]

Formula of isocyanic acid is HNCO. It colourless, volatile compound. It is poisonous inorganic compound. Melamine is synthesized from urea. The reaction involves two steps. In first step, urea gets converted to isocyanic acid which is an intermediate. In the second step, isocyanic acid gives melamine (molecular formula C₃H₆N₆) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). The balanced chemical reaction involved in second step is given below:

6 HNCO → 1 C₃N₃(NH₂)₃ + 3CO₂

The co-efficient of the reaction are: 6, 1, 3
