Which of the following solutions do NOT conduct electricity?
Question

Which of the following solutions do NOT conduct electricity?

A.

Acid and base

B.

Glucose and base

C.

Alcohol and glucose

D.

Alcohol and acid

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Alcohol and Glucose

Explanation:

  • Electricity conduction in solutions depends on the presence of ions. Substances that ionize in water conduct electricity, while those that do not ionize cannot conduct electricity.
  • Alcohol and Glucose do NOT ionize in water, meaning they do not produce free ions to carry electric current. Therefore, they do not conduct electricity.

Information Booster:

  • Electrolytes: Substances that dissolve in water and produce ions, allowing electricity to pass through.
    • Examples: Acids (HCl, H₂SO₄), Bases (NaOH, KOH), Salts (NaCl, KCl)
  • Non-electrolytes: Substances that do not ionize in water and do not conduct electricity.
    • Examples: Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆), Alcohol (C₂H₅OH), Distilled Water

Additional Knowledge:

  • (Acid and Base)Acids and bases ionize in water, releasing H⁺ and OH⁻ ions, respectively, making them good conductors.
