Yes, a solution of KOH will conduct. If one melts the salt, a DC current can break up the KOH into water vapor and potassium metal, which can cause burns if one knows what to do to obtain the metal. It is enclosed so that the atmosphere cannot get to the metal as it forms. Have a great time with your science and the more you ask, as in any subject, the more you can learn.. God bless. Earl

It pretty much has to. You see, this salt undergoes dissosiation in water. There will be potassium ions (K+).
You have charges floating around -- it'll be a conductor.

Yes, it is a pretty strong base.
