Question

Which of the following would form a nonelectrolyte solution in water? A. KCl B. NaNO3 C. C6H12O6 D. Cu2SO4

Answer 1

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A compound formed by transfer of electrons between its atoms is known as an ionic compound.

Ionic compound when dissolve in water or polar solvent then they dissociate into ions and thus they are able to conduct electricity. Therefore, this type of solution is known as an electrolyte.

Whereas a covalent compound does not dissociate into ions. Hence, it is not able to conduct electricity. Thus, it does not act as an electrolyte.

Therefore, we can conclude that $C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}$ form a non-electrolyte solution in water.

Answer 2

C. C6H12O6

This compound is covalent, and all salts are ionic compounds.
