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.
<h3>Salt </h3>
  • 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)

How many grams of KClO3 are needed to produce of 4.26 moles of O2? 2 KClO3 2 KCl + 3 O2 a. 348 g b. 136 g c. 174 g d. 522 g e. 7
JulsSmile [24]
Ok so this is what we know :

2KClO3 -> 2KCl + 3O2         (Always check if equation is balanced - in this                                               case it is)
                              4.26moles
So we know that we have 4.26 moles of oxygen (O2). Now lets look at the ratio between KClO3 and O2.
We see that the ratio is 2:3 meaning that we need 2KClO3 in order to produce 3O2.
Therefore divide 4.26 by 3 and then multiply by 2.
4.26/3 = 1.42
1.42 * 2 = 2.84
Now we know that the molarity of KClO3 is 2.84 moles.
Multiply by R.M.M to find how many grams of KClO3 we have.

R.M.M of KClO3
K- 39
Cl- 35.5
3O- 3 * 16 -> 48
---------------------------
                      <span>122.5
</span>2.84 * 122.5 = 347.9 grams therefore the answer is (a)
                       348 grams needed of KClO3 to produce 4.26 moles of O2.
Hope this helps :).

a 75.0 liter canister contains 15.82 moles of argon at a pressure of 546.8 kilopascals. What is the temperature of the canister?
abruzzese [7]

Pressure of argon = 546.8 kPa

Conversion factor: 1 atm = 101.325 kPa

Pressure of argon = 546.8 kPa x 1 atm/101.325 kPa = 5.4 atm

Moles of argon = 15.82

Volume of argon = 75.0 L

According to Ideal gas law,

PV = nRT

where P is the pressure, V is the volume , n is the number of moles, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the temperature

T = PV/nR = (5.4 atm x 75.0 L) / (15.82 x 0.0821 L.atm.mol⁻¹K⁻¹)

T = 311.82 K

Hence the temperature of the canister is 311.82 K.

Complete this sentence. If volume remains the same while the mass of a substance ________, the density of the substance will____
anygoal [31]
If volume remains the same while the mass of a substance increases, the density of the substance will increase.
So if the volume remains the same while the mass of a substance decreases, the density of the substance will decrease, too.

Why does silver iodide have a higher melting point than vanillin
MAVERICK [17]
AgI has a higher melting point than vanillin because it is an ionic compound. The bonds are held more tightly together than in vanillin because it is a covalent compound. Ionic bonds have a higher melting point because the electrons are being transferred from one atom to the other.
