Question

As nac2h3o2(s) is stirred into water and dissolves, the electrical conductivity of the solution decreases, increases, remains the same

Answer 1

Option B, increases

Step-by-step explanation:

If we arrange NaC2H3O2, we will get CH3COONa. As it is dissolved in water, it dissociates into ions

Positive ion - Na+

Negative ions - CH3COO-

In chemistry, electrical conductivity is defined as the amount of ionic concentration in a solution. With dissociation of CH3COONa, the ionic concentration increases and hence the electrical conductivity also increases.

hence, option B is correct

Answer 2

As nac2h3o2(s) is stirred into water and dissolves, the electrical conductivity of the solution remains the same.
