Question

Why does an aqueous solution of an acid conductelectricity?

Answer 1

Answer:

Acids are the chemical substances which can give H+ ions in their solution. Due to presence of ions, they are good conductor of electricity as ions have charges so they can carry charge from “one electrode to another”. ... Hence an 'aqueous solution' of an acid conduct electricity.

I think this is helpful to you.

thank you

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.
