Question

Why does an aqueous solution conduct electricity?

Answer 1

Answer:

An aqueous solution of an acid conducts electricity because in water, an acid (HCl) dissociates to give ions. Since, the current is carried out by the movement of ions, an aqueous solution of acid conducts electricity. During dilution, more of acid dissociates into ions.

Answer 2

Answer:

Becoz aqueous solution of acids release H+ ions in the solution . The presence of H+ ions makes them a good conductor of electricity .
