Which of the following will have the highest electrical conductivity? A) 0.1 M NaCl B) 0.2 M NaCl C) 0.3 M CH₃COOH D) 0.4 M CH₃COOH

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sodium chloride dissociates completely in water to form ions, leading to a high electrical conductivity. The organic compound CH₃COOH is likely to be a weak acid, meaning that it will only partially dissociate in water and thus have a lower conductivity. Therefore, the higher concentration of NaCl in choice B will result in a higher electrical conductivity compared to choice A. Choices C and D are organic compounds and are not expected to have high conductivity.
