Question

Why does an aqueous solution of an acid conduct electricity?
​

Answer 1

❣❣heya!❣❣

☯Acids undergo dissociation in aqueous solution to form H+ ions. When electricity is passed through an aqueous solution of an acid, the H+ ions reach the cathode and each H+ ion picks up one electron from the cathode to form H2 gas. Because of this reaction, an aqueous solution of acid conducts electricity.

Answer 2

Answer:

an aqueous solution of an acid conduct electricity because acids release hydrogen ions

Explanation:

- Ions are the charged particles which are laden with either positive charge or negative charge...

- But for a solution to conduct electricity it doesn't depends on what charge does the ion carry but the number of ions present in solution.

- Pure water do not contain any ions so it does not conduct electricity..

- But when acids are added to water, acids release Hydrogen ion which is a Positively charged ion... therefore making the water electrically conductive in Nature...
