1) ionic compound

there should be motive ions or free movable electrons to conduct electricity. The ionic compounds in the solid state, has no motive ions or free electrons as the ions are tightly attracted to each other. But in liquid state, the ions separate and move freely.

Answer:ionic compound

Explanation:

In an ionic solid, all the ions are tightly held by electrostatic attraction with the neighbouring oppositely charged ion hence they are immobile. Electricity conduction by ionic substances depends on the mobility of ions. When dissolved in water, these ions are now pulled apart from each other and migrate freely. The same occurs when the crystal lattice collapses and the solid melts. Hence only the fused substance or the solution of the substance can conduct electricity.

Deep sea divers use a mixture of helium and oxygen to breathe. Assume that a diver is going to a depth of 150 feet where the tot

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

4.525% is the percentage by volume of oxygen in the gas mixture.

Explanation:

Total pressure of the mixture = p = 4.42 atm

Partial pressure of the oxygen = $p_1=0.20 atm$

Partial pressure of the helium = $p_2$

$p_1=p\times \chi_1$ (Dalton law of partial pressure)

$0.20 atm=4.42 atm\times \chi_1$

$\chi_1=\frac{0.20 atm}{4.42 atm}=0.04525$

$\chi_2=1-\chi_1=1-0.04525=0.95475$

$chi_1+chi_2=1$

$n_1=0.04525 mol,n_2=0.95475 mol$

According Avogadro law:

$Moles\propto Volume$ (At temperature and pressure)

Volume occupied by oxygen gas = $V_1$

Total moles of gases = n = 1 mol

Total Volume of the gases = V

$\frac{n_1}{V_1}=\frac{n}{V}$

$\frac{V_1}{V}=\frac{n_1}{n}=\frac{0.04525 mol}{1 mol}$

Percent by volume of oxygen in the gas mixture:

$\frac{V_1}{V}\times 100=\frac{0.04525 mol}{1 mol}\times 100=4.525\%$

krok68 [10]

Answer:

a= 0.2m/s²

Explanation:

Fnet = ma

20 = 100a (divide both sides by 100)

a = 0.2m/s²

A solid mixture consists of 47.6g of KNO3 (potassium nitrate) and 8.4g of K2SO4 (potassium sulfate). The mixture is added to 130

IgorLugansk [536]

<u>Answer:</u> No crystals of potassium sulfate will be seen at 0°C for the given amount.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of potassium nitrate = 47.6 g

Mass of potassium sulfate = 8.4 g

Mass of water = 130. g

Solubility of potassium sulfate in water at 0°C = 7.4 g/100 g

This means that 7.4 grams of potassium sulfate is soluble in 100 grams of water

Applying unitary method:

In 100 grams of water, the amount of potassium sulfate dissolved is 7.4 grams

So, in 130 grams of water, the amount of potassium sulfate dissolved will be $\frac{7.4}{100}\times 130=9.62g$

As, the soluble amount is greater than the given amount of potassium sulfate

This means that, all of potassium sulfate will be dissolved.

Hence, no crystals of potassium sulfate will be seen at 0°C for the given amount.
