An aqueous solution of an acid conducts electricity.


Options:
A .   True
B .   False
C .   1M Citric acid
D .   1M propanoic acid
Answer: Option A
:
A
For any substance to conduct electricity, there must be the availability of mobile charge carriers. These charge carriers can be:
free electrons that can flow within the substance.
ions that can flow in the solution.
An acid when added in water dissociates into its corresponding ions. For example, hydrochloric acid (HCl) when added to water, dissociates into H+ and Cl ions. These ions present in the solution conduct electricity.
