Which compound below forms an electrolyte solution when dissolved in water? A)Cl₂ B)KOH C)CH₃CH₂OH D)C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ (sucrose) E)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

KOH (Potassium hydroxide) dissociates into K+ and OH- ions when dissolved in water, making it an electrolyte solution. Option A contains only non-metals and would not form ions when dissolved. Option C also contains a non-metal and a covalent bond, so it would not dissociate into ions when dissolved. Option D is sucrose, which is a non-electrolyte compound and would not dissociate into ions when dissolved.
