Define "dielectric" and list the dielectric constant values for vacuum and water

The term dielectric makes reference to materials that are insulators (the charges in the material does not flow freely and for this reason an insulator material cannot conduce electricity). BUT if we applied this material in an electric field they can be polarized.

Dielectric Constant: It is also defined as a relative permittivity and it is the amount of charge required to produce one unit of electric flux( electric field in a surface)  in a given medium.

it is typically denoted as Epsilon (ε)

and its formula is: ε = ε(ω) /ε(0)

where:

ε(ω) = the frequency-dependent permittivity of the material

ε(0) = the dielectric constant value in vacuum

Dielectric Constant values:

1.consider the following balanced equation and answer parts a through. show calculations for each part.  

3 ag(s) + 4 hno3(aq) → 3 agno3(aq) + no(g) + 2 h2o(l)  

a. calculate the number of moles of agno3 produced by the reaction of 3 moles of ag with excess hno3. if the number to the left of the compound represents the number of moles of the compound which are present, then 3 moles of ag react with 4 moles hno3 to produce 3 moles agno3 (aq).

so the answer to a would be 3 moles.

b. calculate the number of moles of agno3 produced by the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3.  

i'm not sure how to plug in the grams of silver into an equation using moles to find how many moles are produced.

c. calculate the number of grams of agno3 produced by the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3  

d. calculate the number of moles of no produced as a byproduct of the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3.  

e. calculate the number of grams of no produced as a byproduct starting with 108 grams of ag and excess hno3.  

explanation:

i believe you are right for all except the 3rd ( look at sqdancefan his answer is much better)
