QUESTION: Problem 11P
State whether an aqueous solution of each of the following substances conducts an electric current. Explain your reasoning,
(a) Potassium sulfate (b) Sucrose, C12H22O11
ANSWER:
Solution 11P
Here, we state whether an aqueous solution of each of the following substances conducts an electric current.
Step 1 of 2
a.
Potassium sulfate.
Potassium sulfate is an ionic compound.Molecular formula of the Potassium sulfate is K2SO4.
When passes the electricity is passed through the aqueous solution of potassium sulfate are completely dissociates into following ions K+ and SO4-2.
The current flows arises from the movement of charged particles.
Therefore, Potassium sulfate conducts electricity.
