Which 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.
