Which of the following will have the highest electrical conductivity? A) 0.1 M NaCl B) 0.2 M NaCl C) 0.3 M NaC₂H₃O₂ D) 0.4 M NaC₂H₃O₂

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The solution with the highest concentration of NaC₂H₃O₂ (choice D) will have the highest electrical conductivity because it has the most ions available to conduct electricity. As the concentration of ions in a solution increases, so does its conductivity. Additionally, the presence of multiple ions in a compound (as in NaC₂H₃O₂) can also increase conductivity as there are more pathways for the flow of electric current.
