Si el ácido clorhídrico es un compuesto covalente polar, explica porque en solución acuosa conduce la corriente de manera similar a un compuesto iónico

If hydrochloric acid is a polar covalent compound, explain why in aqueous solution it conducts current similarly to an ionic compound.

This occurs because the current is transmitted by the charges of its atoms.

Explanation:

Hydrochloric acid is a compound that is made up of atoms with partial charges, which means that it is a polar molecule. H atoms have a positive partial charge, while Cl atoms have a negative charge, making the molecule as a whole have a neutral charge.

Being a dipole compound, water can dissolve molecules of this type, separate anions and cations. When atoms are separated from these molecules they release ions. In the case of HCl, being an acid, H+ and Cl- ions are released. This separation of charges causes electric current to be conducted.

number of molecules / avogadro's number * molecule molecular = mass

explanation:

we define a gram-molecular weight as the mass of one mole of any element or compound. a mole contains avogadro's number of units (molecules) –  

6.022

x

10

23

. so, dividing the number of molecules by avogadro's number gives us the number of moles. multiplying that by the molecular weight gives us the mass. from the periodic table we find the gram-molecular weight of u to be238 and of f to be19. so,  

u

f

6

will have a gram-molecular weight of 352g.
