Question

2. Why does aqueous solution of an acid conduct electricity?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acids undergo dissociation in aqueous solution to form H+ ions. When electricity is passed through an aqueous solution of an acid, the H+ ions reach the cathode and each H+ ion picks up one electron from the cathode to form H2 gas. Because of this reaction, an aqueous solution of acid conducts electricity.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Acids undergo dissociation in aqueous solution to form H+ ions.

When electricity is passed through an aqueous solution of an acid, the H+ ions reach

the cathode and each H+ ion picks up one electron from the cathode to form H2 gas.

Because of this reaction, an aqueous solution of acid conducts electricity.
