Question 13
13.
A fuel cell filled with potassium hydroxide solution works better than one filled with pure water. One reason is that potassium hydroxide solution is a better electrical conductor than pure water. Explain why potassium hydroxide solution is a better electrical conductor than pure water.

Water decomposes to produce H+ and OH- at very low concentrations so in pure water there is a low concentration of elctrolysts and therfore pure water is a poor ______________ of electricity.
Potassium hydroxide is very soluble so the concentration of the ________________ is higher and the solution is a better conductor..
Other Answer Choices:
conductor
electrolyte
