1.	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 ?
Answer» SOLUTION :Explanation for the given statement on the basis of lonisation and effect upon the concentration of SODIUM chloride is given below (i) Sugar is non-electrolyte so it does not ionise in water while NaCl ionises completely in water and produces `Na^+` and `Cl^-` ion which help in the conduction of electricity. (II) As concentration of NaCl is increased, more `Na^+` and `Cl^-` ions will be produced. HENCE, conductance or conductivity of the solution increases.
