Answer: Testing the electrical conductivity of an aqueous solution of the substance is the correct option.

Explanation:

An ionic substance is defined as the substance formed due to transfer of electrons(s) from one atom to another of the combining species.

For example, when a metal and a non-metal chemical combines then an electron will always be transferred from the metal to the non-metal.

Hence, a metal and non-metal always form an ionic bond.

It is known that water is a polar substance and polar or ionic substances readily dissolve in it.

So, when an ionic compound is dissolved in water then it will dissociate into ions. And, as electricity is the flow of ions or electrons hence, an aqueous solution of ionic substance is able to conduct electricity.

But an ionic compound in crystal form will not be able to conduct electricity because then ions are not present in free state.

Thus, we can conclude that testing the electrical conductivity of an aqueous solution of the substance, would be most useful in providing data to determine if the substance is an ionic compound.

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The glow stick in hot water will be brighter

Explanation:

The glow stick in hot water will be brighter than the glow stick in cold water because the heat from the hot water will cause the molecules in the glow stick to move faster. The faster the molecules move in the glow stick, the sooner and brighter the reaction will be. The cold water will cause molecules to move slowly and it will take longer for the reaction to occur, which will also make it less bright.

If a gas has a volume of 750 mL at 25oC, what would the volume of the gas be at 55oC?
blagie [28]

Answer:

The answer to your question is     V2 = 825.5 ml

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = 750 ml

Temperature 1 = 25°C

Volume 2= ?

Temperature 2 = 55°C

Process

Use the Charles' law to solve this problem

                V1/T1 = V2/T2

-Solve for V2

                V2 = V1T2 / T1

-Convert temperature to °K

T1 = 25 + 273 = 298°K

T2 = 55 + 273 = 328°K

-Substitution

                V2 = (750 x 328) / 298

-Simplification

                V2 = 246000 / 298

-Result

                V2 = 825.5 ml

Given that the density of TlCl(s) is 7.00 g/cm3 and that the length of an edge of a unit cell is 385 pm, determine how many form
ryzh [129]
Here's my best guess
the volume of the unit cell is (385*10^-12)^3=5.7066*10^-29 m^3
multiply by density to get mass mass = (7 g/cm^3)*(100^3 cm^3 / 1^3 m^3) * 5.7066*10^-29 m^3= 3.99466*10^-22 g
covert to moles 3.99466*10^-22 g * 1 mol / 239.82 g = 1.6657 *10^-24 mol
convert to number of units

1.6657 *10^-24 mol * 6.23*10^23 units/mol = 1.04

385 pm = 3.85*10^(-8) cm

The volume of the unit cell is the cube of that, which is 5.71*10^(-23) cm^3. Since the ratio of mass to volume (i.e. the density) must be the same no matter what amount of TlCl you have, you can say:
7 = x/(5.71*10^(-23)), where x is the mass of the unit cell. Solving for x, you get 4*10^(-22) g.

The mass of a molecule of TlCl is 240 amu, which in grams is 4*10^(-22) g. The mass of the unit cell and the mass of a molecule of TlCl is the same. Therefore there is one formula unit of TlCl per unit cell.
