Question

Addition of _____________ to pure water causes the greatest increase in conductivity. A) weak bases B) acetic acid C) ionic compounds D) organic molecules

Answer 1

option d is correct

hope it helps uuu....

Answer 2

Addition of ionic compounds to pure water increases its conductivity. (option C)

• Ionic compounds such as salts contain elements bonded by electrostatic interactions. These interactions are due to transfer of electrons between oppositely charged ions.
• When such compounds are dissolved in water, they undergo dissociation into respective ions. These ions have extra or less electrons which can conduct electricity.
• Such solutions are called electrolytes and are used in electrolysis.
