Answer:
- <em>A compound that conducts an electric current in aqueous solution or in the molten state is</em> a <u>ionic compound</u>.
Explanation:
Some examples of ionic compounds are NaCl, KF, KI, MgSO₄.
Ionic compounds are formed by positivie ions (named cations) and negative ions (named anions). The strong electrostatic atraction between cations and anions permits the formation of crystals, which are stuctures characterized by a regular pattern. In solid state the ions are in fixed positions.
In order to conduct electricity, the charged particles (cations and anions in the case of the ionic compounds) need to move freely.
Hence, since in solid state, ionic compounds do not conduct electric current. But, <em>in molten (liquid) state or in aqueous solution, ionic compounds conduct electric current because, then, the ions move freely.</em>
Answer:
C.
Explanation:
Newton's 3rd law of motion: Inertia. It states that bodies at rest tend to stay at rest.
Greetings!
To find the empirical formula you need the relative atomic mass of each element!
Li = 6.9
C = 12
O = 16
You can simply change the percentages into full grams
Li = 18.8g
C = 16.3g
O = 64.9
Then you use this to find the Number of moles = amount in grams / atomic mass
Li = 18.8 ÷ 6.9 = 2.7246
C = 16.3 ÷ 12 = 1.3583
O = 64.9 ÷ 16 = 4.0562
Then divide each number of moles by the smallest value:
Li = 2.7246 ÷ 1.3583 = 2.0
C = 1.3583 ÷ 1.3583 = 1
O = 4.0562 ÷ 1.3583 = 2.9 ≈ 3
So that means that there are 2 Li, 1 C, and 3 O
Empirical formula would be:
Li₂CO₃
Hope this helps!
