Question

Which one of the following statements is NOT correct?
Pure water does not allow a current to flow through it
The electrolyte only conducts when in the molten state
Electrodes that react with the electrolytes are said to be “active”
Ions must be present in the electrolyte in order that it conducts electricity.

Answer 1

Answer:

electrodes that react with the electrolytes are said to be active

Explanation:

no explanation

Answer 2

The electrolyte only conducts when in the molten state is the incorrect statement.

• Pure water lacks the electrons required for the flow of current. Hence, it does not allow the flow of current.
• Active electrodes participate in reaction by oxidation or reduction.
• Ions are charged particles, which is the reason they can conduct electricity.
• The molten or liquid state is the liquid form of compounds. Other than being molten state, electrolytes can also conduct in the aqueous state that is when dissolved in water.
