Why does the conductivity of very pure water increase when electrolytes are dissolved in it?

Options

  1. ADue to an increase in the number of valence electrons
  2. BDue to the presence of ions furnished by the electrolytes
  3. CDue to a decrease in temperature
  4. DDue to an increase in pressure

Correct answer

B. Due to the presence of ions furnished by the electrolytes

Step-by-step solution

The conductivity of very pure water increases when electrolytes are dissolved in it because they furnish their own ions in the solution.
