Question

macimillan learning Gen Chem Lab Coordinator at Western Washington University (W Explain why the BaSO4 in water mixture does not conduct electricity even though BaSO4 is an ionic compound BaSO4 ions in solution are too large, and have too low of a charge to effectively conduct electricity. BaSO4 dissovles as a molecular compound. Without ions in solution, the solution will not conduct electricity. BaSO4 is insoluble in water. In addition, since it is ionic it still soaks up any electrical charge that tries to pass through the solution. Thus the overall solution does not conduct electricity. O BaSO4 dissociates into ions in solution, but these ions do not conduct electricity BaSO4 is insoluble in water, so it does not dissociate into ions. Without ions in solution, the solution will not conduct electricity

Explanation / Answer

BaSO4 is precipitate.it is in soluble in water. So it does not split into ions in water.

BaSO4 is insoluble in water,so it does not dissociate into ions, with out ions in solution the solution will not conduct electricity. >>>> answer
