Calcium nitrate and calcium carbonate are both ionic compounds. Calcium nitrate mixed with water behaves as an electrolyte.

Calcium carbonate mixed with water does not behave as an electrolyte.

Explain, in terms of solubility and movement of ions, this difference in behaviour

Calcium nitrate is soluble in water and dissociate into ions whereas calcium carbonate is insoluble and water and do not form ions.

Explanation:

An electrolyte is a substance which conducts electricity in molten form or when dissolved in water.

The ability of an electrolyte to conduct electricity is due the movement of charged particles called ions. The ions are of two types: negatively charged ions called anions and positively charged ions called cations.

Calcium nitrate is a soluble in water, and when dissolved in water produces two ions; negatively charged nitrate ions,NO₃⁻, and positively charged calcium ions, Ca²⁺. These ions enable it to conduct electricity.

Calcium carbonate on the other hand is insoluble in water, and thus, do not produces any ions capable of carrying current.

c is the answer because when something is left after something evaporates that shows the chemical change.
