Answer:
Electricity is the movement of charge from one place to another place. movement of charges requires a medium. Acids in aqueous solution mean acid in water also called diluted acids. The polar nature of water splits the acid molecules into its cations and anions. Cations and anions are charged particles and are free to move inside the aqueous medium. As a result when a potential difference has applied the solution to conduct electricity
