Which one of the following options shows the property of an electrolyte that can be used in the electrolysis process?
A
Solid non conductor
B
Non conducting
C
Solid conductor
D
Conducting
Answer:
The correct option is D. Conducting
Note
An electrolyte which is used to achieve electrolysis, is an ion conducting polymer which contains free ions that are able to carry the current in the electrolysis process, if the electrolyte is a solid conductor like solid salts then it will not contain free ions hence it will not be able to carry current, thus electrolysis will not take place.
