Hi everyone here we have a question telling us that the following diagram showed three binary sulfur compounds. And our goal here is to identify the substance in each diagram as a non electrolyte, a weak electrolyte or a strong electrolyte. So let's look at a. We have sulfur and sodium and as we can see, the compound is completely dissociated into its ion. So it is a strong electrolyte. Now let's look at B. We can see that only a fraction is dissociated. While most molecules are not dissociated, this makes be a weak electrolyte. And lastly we have c none of the molecules are dissociated into their eye on, so it is a non electrolyte. So these are our final answers. Thank you for watching. Bye.

Potassium superoxide, KO2, is often used in oxygen masks (such as those used by firefighters) because KO2 reacts with CO2 to release molecular oxygen. Experiments indicate that 2 mol of KO21s2 react with each mole of CO21g2. (b) Indicate the oxidation number for each atom involved in the reaction in part (a). What elements are being oxidized and reduced?

Textbook Question

You are presented with a white solid and told that due to careless labeling it is not clear if the substance is barium chloride, lead chloride, or zinc chloride. When you transfer the solid to a beaker and add water, the solid dissolves to give a clear solution. Next an Na2SO41aq2 solution is added and a white precipitate forms. What is the identity of the unknown white solid?
