If we pass current through the sucrose solution the galvanometer will not show any deflection because sucrose molecules:
Correct answer: D. Remain neutral
- A. Move towards cathode
- B. Move towards anode
- C. React with water
- D. Remain neutral
Explanation
Sucrose molecules are electrically neutral, meaning they have an equal number of positive and negative charges. Therefore, when current is passed through a sucrose solution, the molecules will not move towards the cathode or anode, nor will they react with water. As a result, the Galvanometer will not show any deflection. However, if the sucrose solution contains ions or other charged particles, the Galvanometer will show deflection as these charged particles will move toward the oppositely charged electrode.

About Concentration Units
Concentration units express the amount of solute in a given amount of solution or solvent. Calculations cover molarity, molality, normality, mole fraction, mass percentage, volume percentage, parts per million and dilution, including the effect of temperature on volume-based units and the distinction between molarity and molality.
