sucrose dissociates into ions and the sodium chloride does not
sucrose dissociates into ions and the sodium chloride does not

sodium chloride and sucrose both dissociate into ions

Answer 1

The correct response is:

sodium chloride dissociates into ions and the sucrose does not.

When sodium chloride (NaCl) is added to water, it dissociates into sodium ions (Na⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻). In contrast, sucrose (C12H22O11) dissolves in water but does not dissociate into ions; it remains as whole molecules in solution.
