2/23/2018 11:55 PM Gradebook Calculator Periodic Table Question 3 of 9 Map Sapling Learning macmilan leamin this question was written by Gen Chem Lab Coordinator at Western Washington University (V Explain why the BaSO4 in water mixture does not conduct electricity even though BaSO4 is an ionic compound BaSO4 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. BaSO4 has no ionic bonds. Without ions in solution, the solution will not conduct O electricity BaSO4 has more covalent than ionic bonds and is therefore a covalent, not an ionic, compound. BaSO4 ions in solution are too large, and have too low of a charge to effectively conduct electricity. Previous Next Save And Exit

Explanation / Answer

Ionic compound conducts electricity in water since they dissociate to give ions

But BaSO4 is insoluble in water and deosnot dissociate to give ions. Hence it doesnot conduct electricity
