Answer:
Acids undergoes 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+ ions picks up one electron from the cathode to form H2 gas. Because of this reaction, an aqueous solution of an acid conducts electricity.

Explanation: I hope this helps you please mark as brainliest answer
When acids are dissolved in water, they breaks to form H+ ions. Since, these H+ ions cannot exists individually, they combine with the water molecules to form hydronium ions (+). These hydronium ions are good electrical conductor and conducts electricity. Hence, aqueous solution of acids conducts electricity.
