Answer 2

1) The correct answer is option A.

2) The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Electrolytes are the substance which break down into ions when dissolved in water and thus from current conducting liquid solutions .

These compounds in solid form does not conduct electricity due to the absence of free ions.

Magnesium chloride dissociate into its constituent ions when dissolved in water.

`MgCl_2(aq)\rightarrow Mg^(2+)(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)`

Magnesium chloride is the correct answer.

2) Molarity of a 785 ml solution that contains 6.5 moles of HCl.

Volume of solution = 785 mL = 0.785 L

Moles of HCl = 6.5 mol

`Molarity=\frac{\text{Moles of compound}}{\text{Volume of solution(L)}}`

`M=(6.5 mol)/(0.785 L)=8.2802 mol/L\approx 8.3 mol /L`

Hence, the correct answer is option A.
