Salts and acids are examples of inorganic compounds called Electrolytes which dissociate in water to release ions.

<h2>Further Explanation: </h2><h3>A compound </h3>

A compound is a substances that contains two or more different atoms that are bonded together.
When the atoms are similar the substance is known as a molecule, therefore not all molecules are compounds.

<h3>Electrolytes</h3>

Electrolytes are substances that are either in molten or aqueous form that discharged by passing electric current through them. They dissociate into ions while in molten or solution form.
These compounds are made of mobile ions which are responsible for the conduction of electricity.
Examples includes, soluble salts, ionic compounds, acids, and bases etc.

A salt is a substance that is formed when an acid reacts with a base or when the hydrogen part of acid is replaced by metal ion or an ammonium ion.

<h3>Ionic compounds </h3>

Ionic compounds are compounds that contain ions. They are as a result of ionic bonding between a metal atom and a non-metal atom.
During ionic bonding formation the metallic atom looses electrons while the non-metallic atom gains electrons.
Ionic compounds contains both negatively charged ion(anion) and positively charged ion (cation).
Examples of ionic compounds, NaCl, LiF, KCl, Cs2S, KBr, PbS etc.
Most ionic compounds may act as electrolytes.

Keywords: Compound, electrolytes, salts, ionic compounds, soluble acids, bases.

Answer:

Salts and acids are examples of inorganic compounds called <u><em>electrolytes</em></u>.

Explanation:

Electrolytes are the substances which dissociates into ions when dissolved in water and due to this they are able to conduct electric current through them. These compounds in solid form does not conduct electricity due to the absence of free ions.

For example: Sodium chloride , sulfuric acid etc.

$NaCl(aq)\righarrow = Na^+(aq)+Cl^-(aq)$

$H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow SO_4^{2-}(aq)+2H^+(aq)$

The piece of iron that miguel measured had a mass of 51.1 g and a volume of 6.63 cm 3 . what did miguel calculate to be the dens

likoan [24]

Given:
Mass, m = 51.1 g
Volume, V = 6.63 cm³

By definition,
Density = Mass/Volume
= (51.1 g)/(6.63 cm³)
= 7.7074 g/cm³

In SI units,
Density = (7.7074 g/cm³)*(10⁻³ kg/g)*(10² cm/m)³
= 7707.4 kg/m³

Answer: 7.707 g/cm³ or 7707.4 kg/m³

A sample of bismuth weighing 0.687 g was converted to bismuth chloride by reacting it first with HNO3, and then with HCI, follow

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The empirical formula is BiCl3

% Bi = 66.27 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of bismuth = 0.687 grams

Mass of bismuth chloride produced = 1.032 grams

Molar mass of bismuth = 208.98 g/mol

Molar mass of bismuth chloride = 315.33 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

Step 3: Calculate moles of Bi

Moles Bi = mass Bi / molar mass Bi

Moles Bi = 0.687 grams / 208.98 g/mol

Moles Bi = 0.00329 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of Cl

Mass of Cl = 1.032 - 0.687 = 0.345 moles

Moles Cl = 0.345 moles / 35.45 g/mol

Moles Cl = 0.00973 moles Cl

Step 5: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smaller number of moles:

Bi: 0.00329 / 0.00329 = 1

Cl: 0.0097The empirical formula is BiCl33/0.00329 = 3

Step 6: Calculate molar mass of BiCl3

Molar mass = 208.98 + 3*35.45 = 315.33 g/mol

Step 7: Calculate percent of Bi

% Bi = (208.98 / 315.33) * 100%

% Bi = 66.27 %

What characterizes an Arrhenius acid

dedylja [7]

The characteristics of an Arrhenius acid was the acid donates H+ when it is in the aqueous solution, whether the solution is acid or base. If the solution is a acid, then be H+ builds up and increase its thing. The pH level for acid solution is the scale from 1-6. Even though the ph scale is lower than the base, the color also varies. It also applies to the base, too.
