The students can determine which of the solutions contains salt through the conductive tester.
<h3 /><h3>What is an ionic solution?</h3>
It is a solution containing ions are atoms that have gained or lost electrons to acquire a positive (lost electron) or negative (gained electron) charge.
An ionic solution would be able to conduct electricity whereas the covalent would not so if you have a conductivity tester which is available in most labs.
The students can distinguish between the 2 solutions through the conductive tester.
