Question

It has been observed that gaseous hydrogen chloride is a very poor conductor of electricity but a solution of hydrogen chloride gas in water is a good conductor of electricity. This is due to the fact that

Options:

A . Water is good conductor of electricity

B . Hydrogen chloride gas ionizes in water

C . A gas is an electronic conductor but a liquid is always an electrolytic conductor

D . Gas does not obey Ohm's law whereas a solution does

Answer: Option B
:
B
HCl gas ionizes in water solution and the ions so formed act as charge carriers.
