The aqueous solution of sugar does not conduct electricity. However, when sodium chloride is added to water, it conducts electricity. How will you explain this statement on the basis of ionisation and how is it affected by concentration of sodium chloride?

    This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

    Ans: Conductance of a solution depends upon the number of ions present in the solution since sodium chloride is an ionic compound when mixed in water it ionizes completely forming an aqueous electrolytic solution. Hence, the solution conducts electricity while sugar being a non-electrolyte does not ionize in water and when concentration of NaCl is increased, more Na+ and Cl-  ions will be produced. Hence, conductance increases.
