Question

Literacy 1. Why do table salt solutions conduct electricity well, while sugar solutions do not? 2. What is the difference between tap water and distilled water? Which of these two solutions conducts electricity? Why? 3. Which of the followings are electrolytes? Solutions Electrolyte/ Nonelectrolyte Vinegar Hydrogen Tap water Sodium chloride Alcohol Sulfuric acid

Answer 1

Ответ:

Sugar water and distilled water will not conduct electricity since they contain only nonelectrolyte solutes. Salt water should conduct electricity because salt is an electrolyte, forming cations and anions in solution. Tap water will conduct electricity, albeit weakly, due to small amounts of dissolved ionic salts.
