Question

Why does an aqueous solution of HCL conduct electricity ?

Answer 1

Answer:

because HCL release H+ ions and H+ ions conduct electricity

Answer 2

Answer:

• Aqueous solution of HCl conducts electricity.
• This is because, HCl is an ionic bond.
• When dissolved in aqueous medium, it dissociate into its constituent ions.
• These ions act as charge carrier.
• The charge carriers help the elctrons to move.
• The movement of electrons result in the flow of current in the direction opposite to that of the flow of electrons.
• Also, It is characteristics properties of ionic bonds that they conduct electricity in aqueous solution.
• When dissolved in base, ionic compounds form their corresponding salts and water.
