A tester is used to check the conduction of electricity through two liquids, labeled A and B. It is found that the bulb of the tester glows brightly for liquid A while it glows very dimly for liquid B. You would conclude that
$(i)$. liquid A is a better conductor than liquid B.
$(ii)$. liquid B is a better conductor than liquid A.
$(iii)$. both liquids are equally conducting.
$(iv)$. conducting properties of liquid cannot be compared in this manner.
We can conclude that $(i)$. liquid A is a better conductor than liquid B as liquid A let the current pass easily through it.

- A, B and C are all liquids. Liquid A has a comparatively low boiling point. On heating, liquid A vaporises completely without leaving behind any residue. Liquid A is being used increasingly as a fuel in motor vehicles either alone or by mixing with petrol. Liquid B has a very high boiling point. It also vaporises completely on heating, without leaving any residue. Liquid B is a conductor of electricity and used in making thermometers. Liquid C has a moderate boiling point. On heating, liquid C vaporises leaving behind a white solid D which is used in cooking vegetables. The condensation of vapours from C give a liquid E which turns anhydrous CuSO4 to blue.(a) Which liquid could be an element? Name this element.(b) Which liquid could be a mixture?
