Question

Which of the following aqueous solutions is the best conductor of electricity?

(1) 0.10 M CH3OH (3) 0.10 M NaOH
(2) 1.0 M CH3OH (4) 1.0 M NaOH

Answer 1

Which of the following aqueous solutions is the best conductor of electricity?(4) 1.0 M NaOH
reason: Because CH3OH is a nonelectrolyte since it will not ionize in water to form ions, therefore will not conduct electricity.
1M NaOH has more concentration of ions than0.1M NaOH
and since more ions will be present, it is the best conductor of electricity
