QUESTION:

State whether an aqueous solution of each of the following substances conducts an electric current. Explain your reasoning.

(a) Cesium bromide

(b) Hydrogen iodide

ANSWER:

Here, we state whether an aqueous solution of each of the following substances conducts an electric current.

Step 1 of 2

a. Cesium bromide

Cesium bromide is an ionic compound composed of Cs+ and Br- ions. When it dissolves in water, the Cs+ and Br- ions separate and become mobile in the solution. Since ions are charged particles, they can move freely in the solution and carry electric charge. Therefore, an aqueous solution of cesium bromide conducts an electric current.
