35. for each compound (all water soluble), would you expect the resulting aqueous solution to conduct electrical current? a. cscl b. ch3oh c. ca(no2)2 d. c6h12o6
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall conductivity concept
Conductivity in aqueous solutions is due to the presence of ions. Ionic compounds dissociate into ions in water and conduct electricity, while covalent compounds that do not ionize do not conduct well.
Step2: Analyze CsCl
CsCl is an ionic compound. In water, it dissociates into $Cs^+$ and $Cl^-$ ions. So the solution will conduct electricity.
Step3: Analyze $CH_3OH$
$CH_3OH$ is a covalent compound. It does not dissociate into ions in water to a significant extent. So the solution will not conduct electricity well.
Step4: Analyze $Ca(NO_2)_2$
$Ca(NO_2)_2$ is an ionic compound. In water, it dissociates into $Ca^{2 + }$ and $2NO_2^-$ ions. So the solution will conduct electricity.
Step5: Analyze $C_6H_{12}O_6$
$C_6H_{12}O_6$ (glucose) is a covalent compound. It does not dissociate into ions in water to a significant extent. So the solution will not conduct electricity well.
