Question

An aqueous solution is tested with an electrical conductivity probe.The conductivity probe does not detect an electric current . Which solution was most likely tested

Answer 1

Sulphur (IV) Oxide solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Sulphur (IV) Oxide with the chemical symbol
`SO_(2)` is a covalent compound consisting only of nonmetals. In chemistry it is well known that Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity because they have no free electrons and ions.

Answer 2

`SO2` Solutions i.e Sulphur (IV) Oxide solution

Step-by-step explanation:

SULFUR (IV) OXIDE is a gas with a toxic smell like burnt matches, and turn moist litmus pink. It can be manufactured as by product of copper extraction.

CONDUCTIVITY refers to measurement of ability of solutions or substance to conduct electricity.

CONDUCTIVITY PROBES ; Is used to measure ectrical conductivity in solutions and can be used to determine the total ion concentration of aqueous solution.

The conductivity probes does not detect electric current with SULPHUR (IV) OXIDE solution because charge cannot move through it when the coductivity probe was used to carry out test on it.
