Explanation:

An ionic solution is a solution that has anions and cations. This is formed when ionic compounds dissociate in water. The ionic solution can be used as a battery because their respective ions can be attracted to either node of a battery. The cathode (+) attracts anions (negatively charged ions) and the anode (-) attracted cations (positively-charged ions). The reaction between the nodes and the respective ions in the solution causes electrons do be either donated or received. This ensures that the ionic solution (electrolyte) acts as channels for transport of electrons across the nodes to complete a circuit.

Why do plant animal cells both have mitochondria?

LuckyWell [14K]

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of a cell. They are important because they are an energy factor for both plant and animal cells. They take the food you eat, and turn that as energy for the rest of the cell to use. It is critical that every cell has one to survive whether plant or animal.

Explain why an insoluble compound added to water is considered a nonelectrolyte.

DaniilM [7]

Explanation:

A non-electrolyte is defined as a solution which does not contain any ions and hence, it is unable to conduct electricity.

For example, when a non-polar substance like $CCl_{4}$ is dissolved in water then it will not dissociate into ions.

As electricity is the flow of ions or electrons. So, a non-electrolyte solution is not able to conduct electricity.

Similarly, a compound that is insoluble in water will not dissociate into ions. Hence, this type of solution will not be able to conduct electricity.
