Question

A student tested a 0.1 M aqueous solution and made the following observations:
• conducts electricity
• turns blue litmus to red
• reacts with Zn(s) to produce gas bubbles
Which compound could be the solute in this solution?
(1) CH3OH (3) HBr
(2) LiBr (4) LiOH

Answer 1

A student tested a 0.1 M aqueous solution and made the following observations conducts electricity, turns blue litmus to red and reacts with Zn(s) to produce gas bubbles. The compound that could be the solute in this solution is HBr. The answer is number 3. 

Answer 2

The only ionic compound which can react with Zn(s) to produce gas bubbles is HBr.

What is an electrolyte?

An electrolyte is a solution that is able to conduct electricity. This solution must contain ions as ions are the charge carriers in solution.

In this case, we have to look at the options and discover the compounds that are made of ions and the only ionic compound which can react with Zn(s) to produce gas bubbles is HBr.
