Substances that give ions when dissolved in water are called electrolytes. They can be divided into acids, bases, and salts because they all give ions when dissolved in water. These solutions conduct electricity due to the mobility of the positive and negative ions, which are called cations and anions respectively.

Electrolytes are composed of free-moving Charged Particles, i.e. ions. When a PD is applied across the electrolytes, the +ve ions move towards the -ve terminal and gain electrons to become neutral atoms, the opposite happens with the -ve atoms. Electrolytes lose their conductivity over time since they liberate some of the constituents of the electrolyte as gases or metals that settle at the bottom.

Answer:

because there's a chemical reaction that happens between the anions and cations. The cations are positive ions and anion are negative ions. the reaction occurs as one loses electrons and the other one gaining.

Solid silver chloride, AgCI(s), decomposes to its elements when exposed to sunlight Write a balanced equation for this reaction
Mrac [35]

Answer: The coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

Decomposition of silver chloride is represented as:

2AgCl(s)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cl_2(g)

Thus the coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.

How many grams in 6.20 x 10^25 atoms of bromine (Br) ? image attached , will give brainliest
Deffense [45]

Answer:

8239.2g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of atoms in Br  = 6.2 x 10²⁵atoms

Unknown:

Mass of Br = ?

Solution:

From mole concepts, we know that:

       1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ atoms/mol

 Molar mass of Br  = 80g/mol

6.2 x 10²⁵atoms  x \frac{1}{6.02 x 10^{23} } \frac{mol}{atoms} x  80 x \frac{g}{moles}  

          = 8239.2g

Which element is oxidized in the reaction below? fe(co)5 (l) + 2hi (g) fe(co)4i2 (s) + co (g) + h2 (g)?
DanielleElmas [232]
Oxidation state of I is (-1) and for CO it is zero. Let's assume that the oxidation state of Fe in Fe(CO)₄I₂<span> (s) is x. For whole compound, the charge is zero.

Sum of oxidation numbers in all elements = Charge of the compound.

Here we have 1Fe , 4CO and 2I
hence we can find the oxidation state as;
 x + 4*0 + 2*(-1) = 0
 x + 0 - 2            = 0
                   x     = +2
Hence the oxidation state of Fe in product </span>Fe(CO)₄I₂ (s) is +2.

Same as we can find the oxidation state (y) of Fe in Fe(CO)₅(s).
y + 5*0 = 0
   y        = 0

Since oxidation state of Fe increased from 0 to +2, the oxidized element is Fe in the given reaction.

The pH of a 0.150 molar solution of a weak acid is 4.10. What is the pKa of the acid?
Kamila [148]
Answer: 4.21×10⁻⁸

Explanation:


1) Assume a general equation for the ionization of the weak acid:

Let HA be the weak acid, then the ionization equation is:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

2) Then, the expression for the ionization constant is:

Ka = [H⁺][A⁻] / [HA]

There, [H⁺] = [A⁻], and [HA] = 0.150 M (data given)


3) So, you need to determine [H⁺] which you do from the pH.

By definition, pH = - log [H⁺]

And from the data given pH = 4.1


⇒ 4.10 = - log [H⁺] ⇒ [H⁺] = antilog (- 4.10) = 7.94×10⁻⁵

4) Now you have all the values to calculate the expression for Ka:

ka = 7.94×10⁻⁵ × 7.94×10⁻⁵ / 0.150 = 4.21×10⁻⁸

A solution with [ OH] of 5 x 10-3 has a pH of
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

11·699

Explanation:

Given the concentration of hydroxide ion in the solution is 5 × 10^{-3} M

Assuming the temperature at which it is asked to find the pH of the solution be 298 K

<h3>At 298 K the dissociation constant of water is 10^{-14} </h3><h3>∴ pH + pOH = 14 at 298 K</h3><h3>pOH of the solution = -log( concentration of hydroxide ion )</h3>

∴ pOH of the given solution = - log(5 × 10^{-3} = -0·699 + 3 = 2·301

   pH of the given solution = 14 - 2·301 = 11·699

∴ pH of the solution = 11·699
