Question

Why does an aqueous solution of an acid conduct electricity?

Answer 1

Explanation:

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.
