Question

Adding a soluble metallic salt to water
a) increases its electrical conductivity .
b) decreases its electrical conductivity.
c) never produces any change in the conductivity
d) none of these ​

Answer 1

Answer:

increases its electricity conductivity

Explanation:

bcz metal salt is good conductor of electricity

Answer 2

The correct answer for the given question is option a: increases its electrical conductivity.

• Water produces electricity owing to the presence of particles or ions in its solution, as we all know.
• Ions are negatively and positively charged particles that dissolve in water when it is connected to an external power source and transmits electricity.
• Because the ions of metallic salt break their bonds and dissociate to move freely in an aqueous medium, soluble metallic salt can increase electrical conductivity in water.
• These free ions of metallic salt will raise ion concentration and, as a result, boost electrical conductivity.
