Question

The electrical conductivity of `KI`(aq) is greater than the electrical conductivity of `H_2O`(l) because the `KI`(aq) contains mobile what?

Answer 1

Because the `KI(aq)` solution contains aquated ions............

Explanation:

And we could describe their formation by means of the following equation.........

`KI(s) stackrel(H_2O)rarrK^+(aq) + I^(-)(aq)`

The `(aq)` designates that the metal (or non-metal) ion is solvated by, aquated by several water molecules, i.e. `[K(OH_2)_6]^+` or something similar..... And these species can carry an electrical current.......
