(a)
Interpretation:
Potassium sulfate conducts electricity or not is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
An electrolyte is a substance that conducts electricity when it is dissolved in water. The flow of charged particle is the reason behind the conductivity of a solution. The charged particle moves towards the electrode with the opposite charge and conducts electricity.
Ionic compounds and electrolytes such as acid or base behave as electrolytes and conduct electricity.
(b)
Interpretation:
Sucrose (C12H22O11) conducts electricity or not is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
An electrolyte is a substance that conducts electricity when it is dissolved in water. The flow of charged particle is the reason behind the conductivity of a solution. The charged particle moves towards the electrode with the opposite charge and conducts electricity.
