Answer:

Explanation:

HCl conducts electricity in water because water is a polar solvent and ionizes the polar covalent HCl molecule into free ions. Hence HCl in water exhibits acidic properties and is an electrolyte. Thus it conducts electricity.

Toluene not being a polar solvent does not dissociate Hcl into free ions. Thus HCl in toluene doesn't show acidic properties and is an electrolyte which therefore is not able t conduct electricity.

Hope this helps:)
