Conductivity of Ionic Compounds in Solution

Very Hard General Chemistry Solution Chemistry

A student is investigating the solubility of various ionic compounds in water. They prepare saturated solutions of the compounds listed below:

- Potassium chloride (KCl)

- Sodium sulfate (Na2SO4)

- Barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2)

- Calcium carbonate (CaCO3)

After thorough mixing, the student measures the electrical conductivity of each solution using a conductivity meter.

Which of the following compounds would be expected to exhibit the highest conductivity in solution?
