How do molecular solutes differ from ionic solutes when dissolved in solution?
Molecular solutes dissolve as whole molecules and do not dissociate into ions, while ionic solutes dissociate into ions when dissolved in solution. Molecular solutes do not conduct electricity in solution, whereas ionic solutes can conduct electricity due to the presence of free ions.
Which substances aluminum foil sugar or potassium hydroxide will conduct electric current dissolved in water?
Potassium hydroxide will conduct electric current when dissolved in water due to the presence of ions that allow the flow of electricity. Aluminum foil will not conduct electricity in water as it is a metal and does not dissolve into ions. Sugar is a non-electrolyte and will not conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
What do the substances that conduct electricity once they are dissolved have in common?
333
What type of compound ionic or covalent will conduct electricity and dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds will conduct electricity and dissolve in water due to the presence of free ions that can move and carry a current. Covalent compounds do not typically conduct electricity in water as they do not dissociate into ions.
Do ionic compounds conduct electricity well when dissolved in water?
Yes because ionic compounds are a combination of a metal and a non-metal, and as you might know, metals are good conductors of electricity.And yes, they conduct electricity well when dissolved in water, providing that is able to dissolve in water (aqueous).
