(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “The solution of a weak electrolyte is a poor conductor of electricity” is true or false is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Solutions of substances in which the ions are the conducting species are called electrolytes. The ionization depends on the nature of the substance. Some substances are more ionized in solution and conduct more electricity. Other substances are ionized to a lesser extent and conduct less electricity. The ability of a solution to conduct electricity depends on the number of ions present in the solution.

Answer to Problem 80E
The statement, “The solution of a weak electrolyte is a poor conductor of electricity” is true.
Explanation of Solution
Strong electrolytes produce more number of ions in the solution and are good conductors of electricity. Weak electrolytes produce less number of ions in the solution and are bad conductors of electricity. Therefore, the statement, “The solution of a weak electrolyte is a poor conductor of electricity” is true.

Therefore, they are not included in the net ionic equation. Therefore, the statement, “Spectators are included in a net ionic equation” is false.
The statement, “Spectators are included in a net ionic equation” is false.
(h)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “A net ionic equation for a reaction between an element and an ion is the equation for a single-replacement
Concept introduction:
Chemical reactions are represented by chemical equations. In a chemical equation the reactants are represented on the left of the arrow while the products are represented on the right of the arrow.
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Answer to Problem 80E
The statement, “A net ionic equation for a reaction between an element and an ion is the equation for a single-replacement redox reaction” is true.
Explanation of Solution
Elements are in zero oxidation state and have no counter ions to exchange with the other reactant. In an ionic equation, the elements in zero oxidation state undergo oxidation or reduction to form respective ions. At the same time, the positive ions accept or lose electrons to undergo oxidation or reduction. Therefore, it is a single replacement redox reaction. Therefore, the statement, “A net ionic equation for a reaction between an element and an ion is the equation for a single-replacement redox reaction” is true.
The statement, “A net ionic equation for a reaction between an element and an ion is the equation for a single-replacement redox reaction” is true.

Concept introduction:
Chemical reactions are represented by chemical equations. In a chemical equation the reactants are represented on the left of the arrow while the products are represented on the right of the arrow. If the product formed is an insoluble compound, the reaction is termed as precipitation reaction.
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Answer to Problem 80E
The statement, “A compound that is insoluble forms a precipitate when its ions are combined” is false.
Explanation of Solution
Insoluble compounds do not ionize in water. For the formation of precipitate, the combination of ions is necessary. Therefore, only a soluble compound can form a precipitate. Therefore, the statement, “A compound that is insoluble forms a precipitate when its ions are combined” is false.
The statement, “A compound that is insoluble forms a precipitate when its ions are combined” is false.
(j)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “Precipitation and molecule-formation reactions are both ion-combination reactions having double-replacement conventional equations” is true or false is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Chemical reactions are represented by chemical equations. In a chemical equation the reactants are represented on the left of the arrow while the products are represented on the right of the arrow. If the product formed is an insoluble compound, the reaction is termed as precipitation reaction. If the product formed, does not ionize, it is termed as molecule-formation reaction. Double replacement reactions are those in which exchange of cations and anions of both the reactants takes place. In it the ions appear to change partners.
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Answer to Problem 80E
The statement, “Precipitation and molecule-formation reactions are both ion-combination reactions having double-replacement conventional equations” is true.
Explanation of Solution
In precipitation reaction, the cation of one of the reactant reacts with the anion of the other reactant and vice-a-versa to form an insoluble compound. In molecular formation reactions, the exchange of cations and anions between reactants takes place to form a molecular product which does not ionize. Therefore, they both are double replacement conventional equations. Therefore, the statement, “Precipitation and molecule-formation reactions are both ion-combination reactions having double-replacement conventional equations” is true.

Answer to Problem 80E
The statement, “Neutralization is a special case of a molecule-formation reaction” is true.
Explanation of Solution
In molecular formation reactions, the product formed is either water or a weak acid. In a neutralization reaction, the molecular compound formed is always water. Weak acid is not formed in a neutralization reaction. Therefore, neutralization is a special case of molecule-formation reaction in which product is always water. Therefore, the statement, “Neutralization is a special case of a molecule-formation reaction” is true.

Answer to Problem 80E
The statement, “One product of a molecule-formation reaction is a strong acid” is false.
Explanation of Solution
In molecular formation reactions, the product formed is either water or a weak acid. So, strong acid is not formed as a product of molecule-formation reaction. Therefore, the statement, “One product of a molecule-formation reaction is a strong acid” is false.

Answer to Problem 80E
The statement, “One Ammonium hydroxide is a possible product of a molecule-formation reaction” is false.
Explanation of Solution
In molecular formation reactions, the product formed is either water or a weak acid. The product formed in molecule formation reaction does not ionize. Ammonium hydroxide is a salt and therefore, it can undergo complete ionization. Therefore, it cannot be a possible product of molecule-formation reaction.. Therefore, the statement, “Ammonium hydroxide is a possible product of a molecule-formation reaction” is false.
