Ask your teacher you are given two clear, colorless aqueous solutions. you are told that one solution contains an ionic compound, and one contains a covalent compound. how could you determine which is an ionic solution and which is a covalent solution?

Explanation:

Ionic compound are compounds formed by one atom losing an electron while the other gains electron as such the solution always contain charge ions compared to covalent solution which is predominantly formed by two atoms sharing electron. The two solution should be connected to a circuit with a bulb in turns with the same circuit, the solution that turns the  bulb on is the ionic solution. This is because their charged ions conducts electricity when voltage is passed through it while the covalent solution does not conduct electricity.

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
