← ScienceWhich consequence results when high voltage is applied to potassium iodide?
A)Electrolyte undergoes increased electrolytic decomposition✓
B)Potassium metal becomes superconducting
C)Iodide ions exhibit reduced solvation
D)Covalent bond formation becomes thermodynamically favorable
💡 Explanation
High voltage forces electron transfer during electrolysis through ionic compounds because potassium iodide dissociates into ions. *Electrolytic decomposition* occurs, yielding elemental potassium and iodine; therefore, electrolysis accelerates. This happens rather than causing superconductivity or changes favoring covalent character.
