Aqueous solution of which of the following compounds is the best conductor of electric current?
Acetic acid,
Hydrochloric acid, HCl
Ammonia,
Fructose,
The electrical conductivity of an aqueous solution depends on the concentration of free ions present in it. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong electrolyte and ionizes almost completely in an aqueous solution to produce a high concentration of and ions . Acetic acid () and ammonia () are weak electrolytes and ionize only partially, resulting in a much lower concentration of ions .
