How does dissolving salt in water allow electric current to flow?

1 answer:

4 0

Salt is an ionic compound NaCI. So the salt will dissolve and spread apart and the ions in the salt will move freely, letting electricity to flow freely....!

Hope i helped! If you need anything else ask me!! :)

How many atoms are in each compound ?

noname [10]

Compounds are made of two or more atoms of different elements, such as water (H2O) and methane (CH4). Atoms are not drawn to scale. Molecules of compounds have atoms of two or more different elements.

A sample of nitrogen gas is at a temperature of 50 c and a pressure of 2 atm. If the volume of the sample remains constant and t

Lilit [14]

Answer:

The new temperature of the nitrogen gas is 516.8 K or 243.8 C.

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's law indicates that, as long as the volume of the container containing the gas is constant, as the temperature increases, the gas molecules move faster. Then the number of collisions with the walls increases, that is, the pressure increases. That is, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

Gay-Lussac's law can be expressed mathematically as follows:

$\frac{P}{T} =k$

Where P = pressure, T = temperature, K = Constant

You want to study two different states, an initial state and a final state. You have a gas that is at a pressure P1 and at a temperature T1 at the beginning of the experiment. By varying the temperature to a new value T2, then the pressure will change to P2, and the following will be fulfilled:

$\frac{P1}{T1} =\frac{P2}{T2}$

In this case:

P1= 2 atm
T1= 50 C= 323 K (being 0 C= 273 K)
P2= 3.2 atm
T2= ?

Replacing:

$\frac{2 atm}{323 K} =\frac{3.2 atm}{T2}$

Solving:

$T2*\frac{2 atm}{323 K} =3.2 atm$

$T2=3.2 atm*\frac{323 K}{2 atm}$

T2= 516.8 K= 243.8 C

The new temperature of the nitrogen gas is 516.8 K or 243.8 C.

What is the role of meteorites in the formation of life?

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Meteorites are consensually considered to be involved in the origin of life on this Planet for several functions and at different levels: (i) as providers of impact energy during their passage through the atmosphere; (ii) as agents of geodynamics, intended both as starters of the Earth’s tectonics and as activators of local hydrothermal systems upon their fall; (iii) as sources of organic materials, at varying levels of limited complexity; and (iv) as catalysts.

Suppose that in an ionic compound, "m" represents a metal that could form more than one type of ion. in the formula mf2 , the ch

geniusboy [140]

F (Fluorine) is in column (group/family) VIIA, or the "halogens". When you see the halogens (Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine) in combination with a metal, each halogen atom present will carry a -1 charge. We can see that the atom has no charge, so the metal must cancel out the negative charges brought by the two fluorine atoms.
(Charge on m) + 2*(charge on fluorine) = 0
(Charge on m) + 2*(-1) = 0
(Charge on m) - 2 = 0
Charge on m ion = +2
