Answer:
KNO₃ is an electrolyte.
Explanation:
Electrolyte is any specie which when dissolved in water produces a cation and anoin. Electrolytes has the ability to conduct electricity. In given options O₂, Xe and C₃H₈ are non electrolytes because they cannot dissociate into cation and an anion due to their covalent bonds or monoatomic nature. The dissociation of Potassium Nitrate is as follow,
KNO₃ → K⁺ ₍aq₎ + NO₃⁻ ₍aq₎
0.042 moles of Hydrogen evolved
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
I = 1.5 A
t = 1.5 hr = 5400 s
Required
Number of Hydrogen evolved
Solution
Electrolysis of water ⇒ decomposition reaction of water into Oxygen and Hydrogen gas.
Cathode(reduction-negative pole) : 2H₂O(l)+2e⁻ ⇒ H₂(g)+2OH⁻(aq)
Anode(oxidation-positive pole) : 2H₂O(l)⇒O₂(g)+4H⁻(aq)+4e⁻
Total reaction : 2H₂O(l)⇒2H₂(g)+O₂(g)
So at the cathode H₂ gas is produced
Faraday : 1 mole of electrons (e⁻) contains a charge of 96,500 C

Q = i.t
Q = 1.5 x 5400
Q = 8100 C
mol e⁻ = 8100 : 96500 = 0.084
From equation at cathode , mol ratio e⁻ : H₂ = 2 : 1, so mol H₂ = 0.042
Anytime an atom shares or transfers electrons a bond is formed, sharing= covalent and transfer= ionic
Its been awhile since I've dabbled in chemistry, but i do know that A isnt the answer because the question says solution, not mixture. This looks somewhat like a trick question, it says individual components, so the answer would be C. This is because the individual components do react to form a compound. B and D would be true if it didnt say individual components, so the question is basically focusing on only one ingredient, not the whole solution. Answer: C
I believe D. because all the organisms that live in a lake can be a bunch of living things that would be considered a population and not a species. I canceled out B. from the get go because, I don’t believe non living organisms can be in a population ?
Please get back to me if I’m right or wrong :)
