Conductivity of Salts
- Conductivity of salts depends on the concentration of ions in solution and their mobility.
- Salts that dissociate completely into multiple ions in solution typically have higher conductivity.
- For example:
- LiCl dissociates into two ions: Li+ and Cl-.
- CaCl2 dissociates into three ions: Ca2+ and two Cl-.
- LiCl3 is not a valid chemical formula and cannot exist.
EXPLANATION:
- Among the given options:
- LiCl produces two ions in solution, contributing to moderate conductivity.
- CaCl2 produces three ions (Ca2+ and two Cl-), leading to higher conductivity due to the greater number of ions.
- LiCl3 is not a valid compound.
- The combination "LiCl and LiCl3" does not make sense, as LiCl3 does not exist.
- Since CaCl2 dissociates into the highest number of ions, it exhibits the highest conductivity among the valid options.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2 (CaCl2).
