### Bonding.2 Key Ideas Quiz#### Question:**Which substance will conduct electricity?**1. **Pure water (H₂O)**2. **Epsom salt dissolved in water (MgSO₄)**3. **Methane (CH₄)**4. **Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)**#### Explanation:In this quiz, you are asked to identify which of the listed substances is capable of conducting electricity. Electrical conductivity is a property that allows certain materials to let an electric current pass through them. Typically, substances that conduct electricity are those that have free ions or electrons in a state allowing them to move and carry charge.Let's break down the options:- **Pure water (H₂O):** Pure water is generally a poor conductor of electricity because it lacks free ions. - **Epsom salt dissolved in water (MgSO₄):** When Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) is dissolved in water, it dissociates into magnesium (Mg⁺²) and sulfate (SO₄⁻²) ions, which can move freely and conduct an electric current.- **Methane (CH₄):** Methane is a non-polar molecule and does not ionize in solution; thus, it does not conduct electricity.- **Carbon Dioxide (CO₂):** Carbon dioxide also does not ionize in solution and therefore does not conduct electricity.Hence, the correct answer is:- **Epsom salt dissolved in water (MgSO₄)**This question centers on understanding the electrical conductivity properties of different substances, highlighting how ionic solutions can conduct electricity due to the presence of free-moving ions.

Thermochemistry

Thermochemistry can be considered as a branch of thermodynamics that deals with the connections between warmth, work, and various types of energy, formed because of different synthetic and actual cycles. Thermochemistry describes the energy changes that occur as a result of reactions or chemical changes in a substance.

Exergonic Reaction

The term exergonic is derived from the Greek word in which ‘ergon’ means work and exergonic means ‘work outside’. Exergonic reactions releases work energy. Exergonic reactions are different from exothermic reactions, the one that releases only heat energy during the course of the reaction. So, exothermic reaction is one type of exergonic reaction. Exergonic reaction releases work energy in different forms like heat, light or sound. For example, a glow stick releases light making that an exergonic reaction and not an exothermic reaction since no heat is released. Even endothermic reactions at very high temperature are exergonic.
