D ) Starch


Explanation:

Q: Solutions can be used as electrolytes — Which ones?

✅ NaCl
➡️ Solutions that conduct electricity due to the presence of ions

📘 Explanation for Exams:

Electrolytes are solutions that conduct electricity due to the presence of free ions.

Electrolytes are substances that, when dissolved in water, produce ions and allow the solution to conduct electricity.

🔋 Examples of Solutions That Can Be Used as Electrolytes:

Type Examples
  Acids  ( HCl, H₂SO₄ )
  Bases  (NaOH, KOH)
  Salts  ( NaCl, KNO₃, CaCl₂)
  Ionic compounds (Any soluble salt that dissociates)

Non-Electrolyte Solutions:

  • 🔋 Do not conduct electricity
  • Examples: Sugar, Alcohol, Distilled water.
