Why can ionic compounds Conduct electricity ?

1 answer:

katen-ka-za [31]2 years ago

4 0

Explanation:

Ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten (liquid) or in aqueous solution (dissolved in water), because their ions are free to move from place to place. Ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity when solid, as their ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move.

A student prepares a 1.8 M aqueous solution of 4-chlorobutanoic acid (C2H CICO,H. Calculate the fraction of 4-chlorobutanoic aci

Kruka [31]

Answer:

Percentage dissociated = 0.41%

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the reaction is:

$C_3H_6ClCO_2H_{(aq)} \to C_3H_6ClCO_2^-_{(aq)}+ H^+_{(aq)}$

The ICE table is then shown as:

$C_3H_6ClCO_2H_{(aq)} \ \ \ \ \to \ \ \ \ C_3H_6ClCO_2^-_{(aq)} \ \ + \ \ \ \ H^+_{(aq)}$

Initial (M) 1.8 0 0

Change (M) - x + x + x

Equilibrium (M) (1.8 -x) x x

$K_a = \frac{[C_3H_6ClCO^-_2][H^+]}{[C_3H_6ClCO_2H]}$

where ;

$K_a = 3.02*10^{-5}$

$3.02*10^{-5} = \frac{(x)(x)}{(1.8-x)}$

Since the value for $K_a$ is infinitesimally small; then 1.8 - x ≅ 1.8

Then;

$3.02*10^{-5} *(1.8) = {(x)(x)}$

$5.436*10^{-5}= {(x^2)$

$x = \sqrt{5.436*10^{-5}}$

$x = 0.0073729 \\ \\ x = 7.3729*10^{-3} \ M$

Dissociated form of 4-chlorobutanoic acid = $C_3H_6ClCO_2^- = x= 7.3729*10^{-3} \ M$

Percentage dissociated = $\frac{C_3H_6ClCO^-_2}{C_3H_6ClCO_2H} *100$

Percentage dissociated = $\frac{7.3729*10^{-3}}{1.8 }*100$

Percentage dissociated = 0.4096

Percentage dissociated = 0.41% (to two significant digits)

A 1.525g sample of a compound between nitrogen and hydrogen contains 1.333 g of nitrogen. Calculate its empirical formula. The e

vredina [299]

Answer:

NH2.

Explanation:

The mass of hydrogen in the sample = 1.525 - 1.333 = 0.192g.

Dividing the 2 masses by the relative atomic mass of hydrogen and nitrogen:

H: 0.192 / 1.008 = 0.1905

N: 1.333 / 14.007 = 0.09517

The ratio of N to H = 0.09517 : 0.1905

= 1 : 2.

So the empirical formula is NH2.
