Question

Imagine a solution containing only water, sodium, and glucose. if a voltage is applied to the solution, glucose would move

Answer 1

There would be no net movement of glucose

The given statement is wrong. Glucose solutions are not electrolytes and therefore do not conduct electricity.

Is sodium chloride a good conductor of electricity? Simply by dissolving or dissolving it in water, it cannot conduct electricity as a solid.

Saline contains Na+ and Cl- ions. If ions are present in the solution, these ions can move through the solution and carry an electric current. Pure water and sugar solutions do not contain significant ions. Sugar molecules do not break down into ions when dissolved.

When glucose is added to water, it dissolves readily but does not dissociate into ions. Therefore, a glucose solution is not an electrolyte and is not a conductor of electricity.

Substances that dissolve in water to form a conductive solution are called electrolytes. Substances that dissolve in non-conductive solutions are called non-electrolytes. All soluble ionic compounds are electrolytes.
