Question

A student learns that salts like potassium chloride and sodium chloride are introduced in a weakly conducting solution. What option explains the chemical reactions that salts undergo and affect the conductivity of the solution? * 1 point Salts react chemically with the water particles and decrease the conductivity of the solution. Salts help to make the solution non-conducting by reacting with the particles of the solution. Salts mix with the particles of the weak conducting solution and helps to produce oxygen from the solution. Salts undergoes a chemical reaction with the particles of the solution and increase its conductivity.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Balanced equation for the reaction is:

KCl(s)+AAgNO3 (aq)→AgCl(s)+KKNO3 (aq)

It is a double displacement reaction as both reactants exchange ions to form new products. Also, it is a precipitation reaction as white precipitates of silver chloride(AgCl) are formed.
