the reason why an aqueous solution of potassium chromate can conducts an electric current is because :
The ions can move, which creates the charge

Hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

Aqueous solution of potassium chromate contains mobile ions that freely move from one place to another.

Potassium chromate solution contains charged particles. These charged particles are
K^(+) ions and
CrO^(2-)_(4) ions.

Therefore, due to the presence of these charged particles or ions a solution of potassium chromate is able to conduct electricity.
