Can aqueous calcium chloride conduct electricity when dissolved in a solution.Please post a reliable source.?
Yes, absolutely. The reason is that the calcium and chloride ions dissociate once the compound dissolves in water, and the separated ions then can carry a current. This would not be true for sugar, which also dissolves but does not separate into ions (it’s a neutral compound). It’s also not true for something like barium carbonate, which is ionic but doesn’t dissolve in water (it’s pretty much insoluble).
