Which of the following best explains why a 0.1M Na2CO3 solution is a better conductor of electricity than a 0.1M NaCl Solution. A. Na2CO3 has a higher molar mass than NaCl B. Na2CO3 dissociates into more particles in solution C. NaCl is more soluble than than Na2CO3 D. NaCl does not contain a polyatomic ion.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Na2CO3 simply has more ions per molecules (you have a total of 5 ions) versus sodium chloride only has 2. So which one seems like the right answer?

OpenStudy (jfraser):

@alias \(Na_2CO_3\) dissociates into \(three\) ions, not \(five\), but you are generally correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops, brain fart... but my reason still holds. more ions = better conductivity sorry if I confuse anybody
