Please help this makes no sense to me!!

Explain why pure hydrogen cyanide does not conduct electricity, but become a conductor when it is dissolved in water? (at room temp, pure hcn exists as a volatile liquid)

Select the most likely product for this reaction: koh(aq) + co2(g) – ? k2co3(aq) + h2o(1) k(s) + h2(g) + o2(g) k(s) + co3(9) +h2

Some familiar products contain some of the same types of atoms. for instance, the chemical formula for baking soda is nahco 3. the chemical formula for liquid bleach is naclo, and the chemical formula for table salt is nacl. which choice best describes why these three products have some of the same types of atoms in common?
