Each response gives a pair of solutions. which pair of solutions should conduct electrical current equally well? 1. 0.10 m nh3 and 0.10 m nh4cl 2. 0.10 m nacl and 0.10 m naclo4 3. 0.10 m nano3 and 0.10 m hno2 4. 0.10 m

Answer : The correct answer is option 2 : 0.10 M NaCl and 0.10 M NaClO₄

Explanation :

Solutions are classified into 3 categories.

1) Strong electrolytes : These are the solutions that dissociate completely forming ions . They are good conductors of electricity.

Example : All strong acids, bases and the salts made by strong acid/base are strong electrolytes .

2) Weak electrolytes : These substances do not dissociate completely thereby forming fewer ions. They are weak conductors of electricity.

3) Non electrolytes : These are the substances that do not dissociate at all. They do not form ions in aqueous medium. They are bad conductors of electricity.

Let us take a look at the given options and find out what type of solution do we have .

Option 1 : NH₃ is a weak electrolyte whereas NH₄Cl is a strong electrolyte bcause NH₄Cl is made by combination of NH₃ and HCl ( HCl is a strong acid)

Therefore NH₃ would carry electricity less efficiently than NH₄Cl.

Option 2 : Both NaCl and NaClO₄ are strong electrolytes. Therefore they will conduct electrical current equally well

Option 3 : NaNO₃ is a strong electrolyte but HNO₂ is a weak electrolyte. Therefore they will not carry the current equally

Therefore the correct option is option 2

alchemy hadn't scientific methods of study, appeal to mysticism and fantasy, the knowledge of chemistry and physics were modest at that time.

alchemy was - but as new rules were discovered it either changed into chemistry or it became "unscientific".
