Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The classification of the compound as a strong electrolyte, a weak electrolyte, or a nonelectrolyte is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
An electrolyte is an ionic compound which conducts electricity by dissociating into negatively and positively charged ions in a solution. They are held in fixed positions.
(b)
Interpretation:
The major species in solution is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
An electrolyte is an ionic compound which conducts electricity by dissociating into negatively and positively charged ions in a solution. They are held in fixed positions. Electrolysis is a process in which electric current is generated due to the movement of ions in solution. A strong electrolyte is a substance which is a good conductor of electricity in the solution, weak electrolyte is a poor conductor of electricity, and nonelectrolyte does not conduct electricity.
(c)
Interpretation:
The minor species in the solution is to be identified.

- A student weighs out a 4.80-g sample of aluminum bromide, transfers it to a 100-mL volumetric flask, adds enough water to dissolve it, and then adds water to the 100-mL mark. What is the molarity of aluminum bromide in the resulting solution?arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between a solute and a solvent?arrow_forwardDescribe some physical and chemical properties of acids and bases. What is meant by a strong acid or base? Are strong acids and bases also strong electrolytes? Give several examples of strong acids and strong bases.arrow_forward
- 4-81 (Chemical Connections 4C) Balance the lithium iodine battery redox reaction described in this sec tion and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents present.arrow_forwardMany over-the-counter antacid tablets are now formulated using calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, which enables such tablets to also be used as dietary calcium supplements. As an antacid for gastric hyperacidity, calcium carbonate reacts by combining with hydrochloric acid found in the stomach, producing a solution of calcium chloride, converting the stomach acid to water, and releasing carbon dioxide gas (which the person suffering from stomach problems may feel as a “burp”). Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this process.arrow_forwardn general terms, what are the spectator ions in a precipitation reaction? Why are the spectator ions not included in writing the net ionic equation for a precipitation reaction? Does this mean that the spectator ions do not have to be present in the solution?arrow_forward
- The units of parts per million (ppm) and parts per billion (ppb) are commonly used by environmental chemists. In general, 1 ppm means 1 part of solute for every 106 parts of solution. Mathematically, by mass: ppm=gsolutegsolution=mgsolutekgsolution In the case of very dilute aqueous solutions, a concentration of 1.0 ppm is equal to 1.0 g of solute per 1.0 mL, which equals 1.0 g solution. Parts per billion is defined in a similar fashion. Calculate the molarity of each of the following aqueous solutions. a. 5.0 ppb Hg in H2O b. 1.0 ppb CHCl3 in H2O c. 10.0 ppm As in H2O d. 0.10 ppm DDT (C14H9Cl5) in H2Oarrow_forwardConsider molecular, complete ionic, and net ionic equations. (a) What is the difference between these types of equations? (b) In what circumstance would the complete and net ionic equations for a reaction be identical?arrow_forwardIf aqueous solutions of potassium carbonate and copper(II) nitrate are mixed, a precipitate is formed. Write the complete and net ionic equations for this reaction, and name the precipitate.arrow_forward
