Question

discuss what happens when an electrolyte is dissolved in water and then an electric current is passed through it ​

Answer 1

Answer:

When electricity is passed through this electrolyte solution, the solution will conduct electricity. When an electrolyte is dissolved in water it conduct electricity , so when electic current is passed through it , it will conduct electricity . When an electrolyte is dissolved in water it will break up into ions .Jan 9, 2014

Answer 2

Answer:

When an electrolyte is dissolved in water, it breaks into cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negatively charge ions).

Explanation:

These ions then move freely in the aqueous solution. When an electric current is passed through this solution, the cations move towards the negatively charged electrode that is the cathode, and the anions move towards the positively charged ions that is the anode.
