Question

Rank from most conductive to least conductive: AlCl3, C6H12O6, KBr, C3H7OOH ??

Answer 1

Answer:

The order is:

AlCl₃ > KBr > C₃H₇COOH > C₆H₁₂O₆

Explanation:

A compound is conducting in nature (in soluble form) if it is ionic.

More the ions produced by a compound more the conductive the compound is.

In the given compounds C₆H₁₂O₆ is non electrolytic or non ionic. It will dissolve in water and will not furnish any ion thus it will be non conducting (least)

C₃H₇COOH: It is a weak electrolyte and will dissociate very less in water and thus it will be conducting but less than a strong elecrolyte.

KBr and AlCl₃ both are ionic and will dissociate completely however AlCl₃ will produce four ions while KBr will give only two ions per molecule.

Hence AlCl₃ is more conducting

The order is:

AlCl₃ > KBr > C₃H₇COOH > C₆H₁₂O₆

Answer 2

One needs to rank from the most conductive to the least conductive among the formulas that are given in the question. The ranking will be as given below.
1. AlCl3
2. KBr
3. C3H7OOH
4. C6H12O6

I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and the answer has actually come to your desired help.
