Question

which of these substances will conduct electricity? CuSO4(s) CuSO4(aq) C5H12(l) CO2(g)

Answer 1

Answer:

CuSO4(aq)

Explanation:

The aqueous for of CuSO₄ is an electrolyte and it will conduct electricity.

CuSO₄ is an ionic substance and in solid state, it will not have the ability to conduct electricity.

• In aqueous form, it will contain free mobile ions which serves as carriers of electric current.
• In the solid state, the ions are arranged into a crystal lattice and will not conduct a current of electricity.
• The remaining given compounds will not conduct electricity as they are non-polar and do not have free mobile electrons.
