Question

the name of four electrolytes are given below
1 sea water
2 tap water
3 nitric acid
4 oxalic acid

​

Answer 1

Answer:

All acid solutions, whether organic acids or mineral acids, conduct electricity.

Reason : An acid may be defined as a substance which release one or more H

ions in aqueous solution.On the basis of their source acids are of two types :

1) Organic Acids : Acids which are present in animals and plants are known as organic acids.

Example - Acetic acid , Lactic acid , Oxalic acid and Formic acid etc.

Note : In general organic acids are weak acids and these are weakly ionised in water.

2) Mineral Acids : Acids which are obtained from rocks and minerals are known as mineral acids.

Example - Hydrochloric acid , Sulphuric acid and Nitric acid etc.

Note : Mineral acids are strong acids and these are completely ionised in water.

One of the property of acids are :

Acid solution are electrolyte,i.e., they conduct electricity : As acids produce the hydrogen ion when dissolve in water.These ion, when in water, act as charge carriers and hence can conduct electricity.

As we know, stronger acids(mineral acids) dissociate completely and produce more of the ions and hence, conduct electricity more strongly, while weak acids(organic acids) would conduct electricity more weakly.
