Answer:
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.

An aqueous solution of an acid conducts electricity because in water, an acid dissociates to give ions. Since, the current is carried out by the movement of ions, an aqueous solution of acid conducts electricity.
