Question

Which of the following can form an aqueous solution that conducts electricity?

Answer 1

Answer:

Pb(NO3)2

Explanation:

• Compounds that conduct electricity either in the aqueous or molten form are known as electrolytes.
• Electrolytes conduct electricity due to the presence of mobile ions.
• Electrolytes are, therefore, decomposed by passing an electric current through them, a process known as electrolysis.
• Lead(ii) nitrate can form an aqueous solution that conducts electricity also known as an electrolyte.
• It ionizes in water to generate lead ions and nitrate ions which are responsible for the conducting of electricity.
