Sugar is formed through covalent bonds since there are no metal ions for the conduction of electricty. There are also no delocalized electrons within sugar that allow for the flow of electricty

Answer:

Copper has metallic bond and conducts electricity whereas sugar has covalent bond and does not conduct electricity.  

Explanation:

Copper is a metal. Metallic bonding allows the conduction of electricity. In metals electrons are loosely bond to an array of metallic cations. The loosely bound electron clouds are responsible for the conduction of electricity.  

Sugar has covalent bonds. In a covalent bond there is a shared pair of electron between two electronegative atoms. As the electrons are mutually shared they are not readily available for the conduction of electricity.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

0.3229 M HBr(aq)

0.08436M H₂SO₄(aq)

Explanation:

<em>Stu Dent has finished his titration, and he comes to you for help with the calculations. He tells you that 20.00 mL of unknown concentration HBr(aq) required 18.45 mL of 0.3500 M NaOH(aq) to neutralize it, to the point where thymol blue indicator changed from pale yellow to very pale blue. Calculate the concentration (molarity) of Stu's HBr(aq) sample.</em>

<em />

Let's consider the balanced equation for the reaction between HBr(aq) and NaOH(aq).

NaOH(aq) + HBr(aq) ⇄ NaBr(aq) + H₂O(l)

When the neutralization is complete, all the HBr present reacts with NaOH in a 1:1 molar ratio.

18.45 \times 10^{-3} L NaOH.\frac{0.3500molNaOH}{1LNaOH} .\frac{1molHBr}{1molNaOH} .\frac{1}{20.00 \times 10^{-3} LHBr} =\frac{0.3229molHBr}{1LHBr} =0.3229M

<em>Kemmi Major also does a titration. She measures 25.00 mL of unknown concentration H₂SO₄(aq) and titrates it with 0.1000 M NaOH(aq). When she has added 42.18 mL of the base, her phenolphthalein indicator turns light pink. What is the concentration (molarity) of Kemmi's H₂SO₄(aq) sample?</em>

<em />

Let's consider the balanced equation for the reaction between H₂SO₄(aq) and NaOH(aq).

2 NaOH(aq) + H₂SO₄(aq) ⇄ Na₂SO₄(aq) + 2 H₂O(l)

When the neutralization is complete, all the H₂SO₄ present reacts with NaOH in a 1:2 molar ratio.

42.18 \times 10^{-3} LNaOH.\frac{0.1000molNaOH}{1LNaOH} .\frac{1molH_{2}SO_{4}}{2molNaOH} .\frac{1}{25.00\times 10^{-3}LH_{2}SO_{4}} =\frac{0.08436molH_{2}SO_{4}}{1LH_{2}SO_{4}} =0.08436M

The number of p atoms in 1.0 g of ba3(po4)2 is:
marta [7]
First, we determine the number of moles of barium phosphate. This is done using:

Moles = mass / Mr
Moles = 1 / 602
Moles = 0.002

Now, we see from the formula of the compound that each mole of barium phosphate has 2 moles of phosphorus (P). Therefore, the moles of phosphorus are:
0.002 * 2 = 0.004

The number of particles in one mole of substance is 6.02 x 10²³. The number of phosphorus atoms will be:
0.004 * 6.02 x 10²³

2.41 x 10²¹ atoms of phosphorus are present

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

no. of moles = no. of atoms/ Avogadro's number

0.5= N/6.02×10^23

You wish to extract an organic compound from an aqueous phase into an organic layer (three to six extractions on a marco scale).
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

It will be better to use solvents that are lighter than water, because their density has an influence on the miscibility . This will give you a better separation during extraction.

Tamiku [17]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The table above summarizes data given to a student to evaluate the type of change that took place when substance X was mixed with water. The student claimed that the data did not provide enough evidence to determine whether a chemical or physical change took place and that additional tests were needed. Which of the following identifies the best way to gather evidence to support the type of change that occurred when water and Xwere mixed?

A. Measuring the melting point of the mixture of water and X

B. Adding another substance to the mixture of water and X to see whether a solid forms

C Measuring and comparing the masses of the water,  X, and the mixture of water and X

D Measuring the electrical conductivities of X and the mixture of water and X

Answer:

D Measuring the electrical conductivities of X and the mixture of water and X

Explanation:

Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce the table here. However, from the table,  the temperature of the of the mixture of the solid X and water was 101.6°C. This is above the boiling point of water and way below the temperature of the solid X.

This goes a long way to suggest that there was some kind of interaction between the water and X which accounted for the observed temperature of the system of X in water.

The only way we can be able to confirm if X actually dissolved in water is to measure the conductivity of the water. dissolved solids increase the conductivity of water.
