A conductor is what helps heat or electricity pass through an object. Examples of conductors are, silver, iron, aluminum, etc..

An insulator does the opposite and instead, stops either from going through. Examples of an insulator is paper, wood, rubber, etc.

How does the size of ions affect the conductivity of a solution?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Small ions have small areas. There is less resistance as they move through the solution.

For example, in molten salts, the conductivity of <span>Li+</span> is greater than that of <span>Cs+</span>.

Small ions have high charge density.

50.0 mL of an HNO^3 solution were titrated with 36.90 mL of a 0.100 M LiOH solution to reach the equivalence point. What is the
NISA [10]

Answer:

0.0738 M

Explanation:

HNO3 +LiOH = LiNO3 + H2O

Number of moles HNO3 = number of moles LiOH

M(HNO3)*V(HNO3) = M(LiOH)*M(LiOH)

M(HNO3)*50.0mL = 0.100M*36.90 mL

M(HNO3) = 0.100*36.90/50.0 M = 0.0738 M

A battery produces ____current, which is current that flows in only one direction.
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with direct.

Explanation:

A battery refers to a chemical apparatus that is used to store electrical energy. A battery generates a direct current that is a current, which flows in only one direction. DC means direct current and it should exhibit fixed terminals, that is, negative and positive terminals, which cannot be altered.  

As the batteries have fixed content, they possess fixed terminals, thus, they can store only direct current. Thus, the batteries produce direct current and produce a voltage in only one direction, and they exhibit a polarity of negative and positive.
