Question

Why does an aqueous solution of an acid conduct electricity​

Answer 1

Answer:

Because all acid aqueous solutions are conductive, due to the presence of hydrogen ions and acid ions, which can conduct charge exchange between the electrodes and thus conduct electricity. So the acid is also an electrolyte.

Answer 2

Answer:

The acid is a compound which dissociates in aqueous solution to give a large concentration of hydrogen ions.

Thus, these hydrogen ions are free ions which can stay in a solution.

Thus, acid can easily conduct electricity because electricity is nothing but the movement of free electrons.
