Question

Which compound will conduct electricity when it is dissolved in water?

Answer 1

Answer:

CuSO₄

Explanation:

• The compounds that conduct electricity when dissolved in water are known as electrolytes.
• Electrolytes may be defined as compounds that conduct electricity either in aqueous or molten form, due to the presence of mobile ions.
• Electrolytes are therefore decomposed by passing an electric current through them.
• Examples of electrolytes include CuSO₄, NaOH, NaCl, etc.
• Non-electrolytes, on the other hand, do not conduct electricity and cannot be decomposed through electrolysis.
