Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given compound should be identified as weak electrolyte, strong electrolyte or non electrolyte.
Concept introduction:
Electrolyte:
- Electrolyte is a chemical compound, which produce ions when dissolved in water and this solution conducts electricity.
- The strength of the electrolyte is increased by increasing the number of ions in solution.
Non electrolyte:
- The non electrolyte is a chemical compound that when dissolved in water produces a solution and this solution does not conduct electricity. This is because it does not dissociate to produce ions.
Weak electrolyte:
- The chemical compound which does not completely dissociate to produce the ions in its aqueous solution is called weak electrolyte.
Strong electrolyte:
- The chemical compound which completely dissociates to produce ions in aqueous solution is called strong electrolyte.
(b)

- Twenty-five mL of a 0.388 M solution of Na2SO4 is mixed with 35.3 mL of 0.229 M Na2SO4. What is the molarity of the resulting solution? Assume that the volumes are additive.arrow_forward3.101 Which (if any) of the following compounds are electrolytes? (a) glucose, C6H12O6, (b) ethanol, C2H5OH, (c) magnesium sulfide, MgS, (d) sulfur hexafluoride, SF6arrow_forwardA soluble iodide was dissolved in water. Then an excess of silver nitrate, AgNO3, was added to precipitate all of the iodide ion as silver iodide, AgI. If 1.545 g of the soluble iodide gave 2.185 g of silver iodide, how many grams of iodine are in the sample of soluble iodide? What is the mass percentage of iodine, I, in the compound?arrow_forward
- Bone was dissolved in hydrochloric acid, giving 50.0 mL of solution containing calcium chloride, CaCL2. To precipitate the calcium ion from the resulting solution, an excess of potassium oxalate was added. The precipitate of calcium oxalate, CaC2O4, weighed 1.437 g. What was the molarity of CaCl2 in the solution?arrow_forwardWhen 10. L of water is added to 3.0 L of 6.0 M H2SO4, what is the molarity of the resulting solution? Assume the volumes are additive.arrow_forwardAn antacid tablet has calcium carbonate as the active ingredient; other ingredients include a starch binder. You dissolve the tablet in hydrochloric acid and filter off insoluble material. You add potassium oxalate to the filtrate (containing calcium ion) to precipitate calcium oxalate. If a tablet weighing 0.750 g gave 0.629 g of calcium oxalate, what is the mass percentage of active ingredient in the tablet?arrow_forward
- Characterize strong electrolytes versus weak electrolytes versus nonelectrolytes. Give examples of each. How do you experimentally determine whether a soluble substance is a strong electrolyte, weak electrolyte, or nonelectrolyte?arrow_forwardLead(II) nitrate reacts with cesium sulfate in an aqueous precipitation reaction. What are the formulas of lead(II) nitrate and cesium sulfate? Write the molecular equation and net ionic equation for the reaction. What are the names of the products? Give the molecular equation for another reaction that produces the same precipitate.arrow_forwardDetermine the volume of sulfuric acid solution needed to prepare 37.4 g of aluminum sulfate, Al2(SO4)3, by the reaction 2Al(s)+3H2SO4(aq)Al2(SO4)3(aq)+3H2(g) The sulfuric acid solution, whose density is 1.104 g/mL, contains 15.0% H2SO4 by mass.arrow_forward
- ssume a highly magnified view of a solution of HCI that allows you to “see” the HCl. Draw this magnified view. If you dropped in a piece of magnesium, the magnesium would disappear, and hydrogen gas would he released. Represent this change using symbols for the elements, and write the balanced equation.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_forwardA 1.345-g sample of a compound of barium and oxygen was dissolved in hydrochloric acid to give a solution of barium ion, which was then precipitated with an excess of potassium chromate to give 2.012 g of barium chromate, BaCrO4.
