Chapter 4: Q4.13P (page 178)

Question:State whether an aqueous solution of each of the following substances conducts an electric current. Explain your reasoning.

(a) Potassium sulfate (b) Sucrose,C12H22O11

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

a) Yes, an aqueous solution of Potassium sulfate conducts an electric current.

b) No, an aqueous solution of Sucrose,C12H22O11 does not conduct an electric current.

Step by step solution

01

Explain the solubility of ionic compounds in aqueous solution

Those compounds which give ions on dissolving in water can conduct electric current in their aqueous solution.

02

Determine aqueous solution of given compounds conduct electricity or not

In the case of Potassium sulfate: It is an ionic compound and dissociates into its ions as K+and SO42- through which their aqueous solution conducts electric current.

In the case of Sucrose,C12H22O11It is a covalent compound and does not dissociate into ions even though it is soluble in water.

Hence, it is known as non-electrolyte and its aqueous solution does not conduct an electric current.

Is the following a redox reaction? Explain

NH3(aq)+HCl(aq)鈫�NH4Cl(aq)

Magnesium is used in lightweight alloys for airplane bodies and other structures. The metal is obtained from seawater in a process that includes precipitation, neutralization, evaporation, and electrolysis. How many kilograms of magnesium can be obtained from 1.00 km3 of seawater if the initial Mg2+ concentration is 0.13% by mass (dof seawater = 1.04 g/mL)?

A mixture of KClO3 and KCl with a mass of 0.950 g was heated to produce O2. After heating, the mass of residue was 0.700g. Assuming all the KClO3 decomposed to KCl and O2, calculate the mass percent of KClO3 in the original mixture.

The precipitation reaction between 25.0 mL of a solution containing a cation (purple) and 35.0 mL of a solution containing an anion (green) is depicted below (with ions shown as spheres and solvent molecules omitted for clarity).

(a) Given the following choices of reactants, write balanced total ionic and net ionic equations that best represent the reaction:

(1) KNO3(aq) + CuCl2(aq)

(2) NaClO4(aq) + CaCl2(aq)

(3) Li2SO4(aq) + AgNO3(aq)

(4) NH4Br(aq) + Pb (CH3COO)2(aq)

(b) If each sphere represents 2.5 x 10-3 mol of ion, find the total number of ions present.

(c) What is the mass of solid formed?

There are various methods for finding the composition of an alloy (a metal-like mixture). Show that calculating the mass % of Mg in a magnesium-aluminum alloy (d = 2.40 g/cm3) gives the same answer (within rounding) using each of these methods:

(a) a0.263-gsampleofalloy(dofMg=1.74g/cm3;dofAl=2.70g/cm3);

(b) an identical sample reacting with excess aqueous HCl forms 1.38x10-2molofH2;

(c) an identical sample reacting with excess O2 forms 0.483 g of oxide.
