good question! i'm no chemist, but since sodium sulphate (Na2SO4) is "active" chemically, it will conduct electricity, maybe at about 100 times the conductivity of water, and sulpheric acid is about five times more conductive than sodium sulphate.
good luck!

Don't listen to Busta the "high school chemist"
Sulphates don't dissolve???
Ever heard of Copper Sulphate? Ever made that blue liquid with H2SO4 and CuO ?
Sodium Sulphate definitely dissolves. In the mix you would have ions floating around:
Na+, SO4--, H+, OH-.
The ions will conduct electricity. You could stick wires into a potato and it would conduct electricity too. But you weren't asking about potato powered clocks...

Not by itself dry, when dissolved in water just enough will dissolve to make the water conduct electricity.

NO. Na(SO4)2 will not. It is an insoluble chemical, as are all other sulfates. This means that it won't dissolve in water: it forms a precipitate. A precipitate is a solid.

yes is partitially disolves enough in pure water to make it conduct electricty. just try it.

yes it does
