The representation is showing potassium atom (K) and Chlorine atom (Cl) when it ought to show their ions i.e potassium ion (K⁺) and Chlorine ion (Cl¯)

<h3>Dissociation equation for KCl</h3>

When potassium chloride, KCl dissolves in water, it dissociate to produce potassium ion (K⁺) and Chlorine ion (Cl¯) as shown below:

KCl(aq) —> K⁺(aq) + Cl¯(aq)

The representation given in the question is only showing potassium atom (K) and Chlorine atom (Cl). This makes it wrong as dissolution of ionic compounds in water will results in the corresponding ions of the element that makes up the compound

Any two substances which are odourless

STatiana [176]

Answer:

This question perplexes me somewhat. If we as humans are not able to detect a scent or odor from certain substances, that does not of necessity mean those substances are not giving off an odor, and are therefore not “truly” odorless, just odorless to the less sensitive noses of humans.

Water is supposedly odorless, but I know quite well of a test where subjects did a blind tasting, only instead of wine these people were tasting Australian waters, sourced from different locations around the country.

All of these tasters (professionals) were able to differentiate the waters and from what I recall, were all accurate. These wine buffs use their palates as well as their taste-buds, so, were there no odor, their task would have had a greater degree of difficulty.

My own baby sister has such a sensitive palate that she can tell you if you serve her a glass of water from the fridge whether that water was fresh, straight from the tap (unfiltered), filtered or had been boiled before and whether it had been boiled for more than five minutes or not. Truly.

So I would find it difficult to answer your question, “What substances are truly odorless?” , because I am not sure of the criteria you mean by “truly” odorless. In other words, If you are talking about zero degrees, are you talking of the freezing point of water, absolute zero or zero degrees Kelvin?

I’m sure there are substances that are odorless, to humans, but are those same substances “truly” odorless, or only to our perception of them?

Hope this helps, have a wonderful day/night, and stay safe!

Which value would be required to estimate the lattice energy for the hypothetical ionic compound MgH2?

Sonja [21]

D, the energy of formation is equal to the dissociation. so from magnesium ions and Hydrogen ions, when they form the lattice energy is equal to formation-dissociation, as they aren't going to dissociate (fixed in lattice) the formation should be the same as the the overall lattice energy.

Which of the following can form an aqueous solution that conducts electricity?

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Pb(NO3)2

Explanation:

Compounds that conduct electricity either in the aqueous or molten form are known as electrolytes.
Electrolytes conduct electricity due to the presence of mobile ions.
Electrolytes are, therefore, decomposed by passing an electric current through them, a process known as electrolysis.
Lead(ii) nitrate can form an aqueous solution that conducts electricity also known as an electrolyte.
It ionizes in water to generate lead ions and nitrate ions which are responsible for the conducting of electricity.
