Why does an aqeous solution of an acid conduct electricity? |
|
Answer» Increase in nuclear charge Aqueous solutions of an acid conduct electricity Because there is concentration of H+ ions and the movement of this ions helps for the flow of electrical current through the solution Hence it conduct electricity.. 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. |
