a)
To determine:
Whether tap water conducts electricity. To consider whether there are enough charges for ions to flow in a solution of tap water.
Introduction:
Electricity is a form of energy. It shows the flow of electric charge. The solutes have the ability to produce ions called electrolytes. Substance that does not conduct electricity, does not ionize in aqueous solution, and are also called as nonelectrolytes. A substance that conducts electricity, completely dissociates into ions in an aqueous solution. Ionic compound that dissolves in water is called strong electrolyte.
b)
To determine:
Whether pure water conducts electricity. To consider whether there are enough charges for ions to flow in a solution of pure water.

- Calcium carbonate, CaCO3, can be obtained in a very pure state. Standard solutions of calcium ion are usually prepared by dissolving calcium carbonate in acid. What mass of CaCO3 should be taken to prepare 500. mL of 0.0200 M calcium ion solution?arrow_forwardReactions represented by the following equations take place in water solutions. Write each molecular equation in total ionic form, then identify spectator ions and write the equations in net ionic form. Solids that do not dissolve are designated by s, gases that do not dissolve are designated by g, and substances that dissolve but do not dissociate appear in blue. a.

One method for determining the amount of vitamin C in a sample is to titrate it with a solution of bromine, Br2, an oxidizing agent. C6H8O6(aq) + Br2(aq) 2 HBr(aq) + C6H6O6(aq) A 1.00-g "chewable" vitamin C tablet requires 27.85 ml of 0.102 M Br2 for titration to the equivalence point. What is the mass of vitamin C in the tablet?arrow_forward
