Concept explainers
Which compound forms an electroIyte solution When dissolved in water?
a.
b.
c.
d.
Interpretation: Compound which gives electrolytic solution when dissolved in water, is to be identified.
Concept Introduction: Compound which are dissociated into its constituent ions are called electrolytes.
Compound which dissociates completely into its constituent ions forms an electrolytic solution when dissolved in water.
Answer to Problem 1SAQ
Correct answer: The compound
Therefore, option a is the correct answer.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option:
The electrolytes are known to dissociate into their constituent ions and form electrolytic solutions, which conducts electricity. The potassium bromide,
Hence, option (a) is correct.
Reasons for incorrect options: Option (b) is incorrect because the molecule
Option (c) is incorrect because
Option (d) is incorrect because glucose,
Hence, options (b), (c) and (d) are incorrect.

- What is meant by a strong base? Are the strong bases also strong electrolytes? Explain.arrow_forwardMagnesium metal (a component of alloys used in aircraft and a reducing agent used in the production of uranium, titanium, and other active metals) is isolated from sea water by the following sequence of reactions: Mg2+(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)Mg(OH)2(s)+Ca2+(aq)Mg(OH)2(s)+2HCl(aq)MgCl2(s)+2H2O(l)MgCl2(l)electrolysisMg(s)+Cl2+Cl2(g) Sea water has a density of 1.026 g/cm3 and contains 1272 parts per million of magnesium a5 Mg2+(aq) by mass. What mass, in kilograms, of Ca(OH)2; is required to precipitate 99.9% of the magnesium in 1.00103 L of sea water?arrow_forwardWhen a solution is diluted by adding additional solvent, the concentration of solute changes hut the amount of solute present does not change. Explain. Suppose 250. mL of water is added to 125 mL of 0.55 1 M NaCl solution. Explain how you would calculate the concentration of the solution after dilution.arrow_forward
- Gold metal will not dissolve in either concentrated nitric acid or concentrated hydrochloric acid It will dissolve, however, in aqua regia, a mixture of the two concentrated acids. The products of the reaction are the AuCl4 ion and gaseous NO. Write a balanced equation for the dissolution of gold in aqua regia.arrow_forwardWhat volume of 0.0521 M Ba(OH)2 is required to neutralize exactly 14.20 mL of 0.141 M H3PO4? Phosphoric acid contains three acidic hydrogens.arrow_forwardCalculate the molarity of each of the following solutions: (a) 293 g HCl in 666 mL of solution, a concentrated HCl solution (b) 2.026 g FeCl3 in 0.1250 L of a solution used as an unknown in general chemistry laboratories (c) 0.00 1 mg Cd2+ in 0.100 L, the maximum permissible concentration of cadmium in drinking water (d) 0.0079 g C7H5SNO3 in one ounce (29.6 mL), the concentration of saccharin in a diet soft drink.arrow_forward
- Complete and balance the equations for the following acid-base neutralization reactions. If water is used as a solvent, write the reactants and products as aqueous ions. In some cases, there may be more than one correct answer, depending on the amounts of reactants used. (a) Mg(OH)2(s)+HCl4(aq) (b) SO3(g)+H2O(l) (assume an excess of water and that the product dissolves) (c) SrO(s)+H2SO4(l)arrow_forwardWhat volume of 0.0105-M HBr solution is required to titrate 125 mL of a 0.0100-M Ca(OH)2 solution? Ca(OH)2(aq)+2HBr(aq)CaBr2(aq)+2H2O(l)arrow_forwardCitric acid, which can be obtained from lemon juice, has the molecular formula C6H8O7. A 0.250-g sample of citric acid dissolved in 25.0 mL of water requires 37.2 mL of 0.105 M NaOH for complete neutralization. What number of acidic hydrogens per molecule does citric acid have?arrow_forward
- Commercial cold packs and hot packs are available for treating athletic injuries. Both types contain a pouch of water and a dry chemical. When the pack is struck, the pouch of water breaks, dissolving the chemical, and the solution becomes either hot or cold. Many hot packs use magnesium sulfate, and many cold packs use ammonium nitrate. Write reactions to show how these strong electrolytes break apart when they dissolve in water.arrow_forwardWhat volume of a 0.00945-M solution of potassium hydroxide would be required to titrate 50.00 mL of a sample of acid rain with a H2SO4 concentration of 1.23104M.
