How are acids related to electrolytes and electrical conductivity?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
Acids in aqueous solution are almost always electrolytes that produce hydrogen cations in the solution. Hydrogen cations have the highest specific conductance of any ions in aqueous solution, so that acidic solutions are very strongly conductive if concentrated.

Can every strong electrolyte be considered a strong acid?
No. Many strong electrolytes are bases or neutral salts.
Why does a pineapple conduct electricity?
Biological materials, such as this one, will usually conduct electricity due to ions in the liquid. Since an ion has an electrical charge, and is relatively free to move around, it can conduct an electrical current.
Are acids bases and salts electrolytes?
Always. So long as you get the ratio correct, they always will.
What are electrolytes in water?
Strong acids completely ionize, creating Hydronium Ions (H3O). Strong bases completely dissociate to create Hydroxide Ions (OH). Salts also produce ions. Anything that produces ions when dissolved in water, will create electrolytes.
Which organic molecule is related to lipids?
fatty acids are most closely related to lipids
What has the author Leslie Denis Smith written?

What has the author Howard Huntley Lloyd written?
Howard Huntley Lloyd has written: 'A study of the conductivity of certain organic acids in absolute ethyl alcohol at 15, 25 and 35' -- subject(s): Organic acids, Conductivity of Electrolytes
Are string acids strong electrolytes?
If you mean strong acids then yes, strong acids are strong electrolytes.
Does semen have electrolytes?
Electrolytes are the solutions of salts, acids and bases and semen has numerous electrolytes. They include both acids and salts.
Can every strong electrolyte be considered a strong acid?
No. Many strong electrolytes are bases or neutral salts.
What 3 classes of compounds are electrolytes?
An electrolyte is a substance that breaks up into ions when dissolved in water or any ionizing solvent. It is classified into three, gel electrolytes, solid ceramic electrolytes and dry polymer electrolytes.
What are weak electrolytes in water?
weak acids/bases.
Why does conductivity decrease with increasing concentration for all acids?
It doesn't. Conductivity increases with increasing concentration.
How can you distinguish strong and weak acids?
with a conductivity test!
Are electrolytes an acid or a base?
They could be acids, or bases, or neither.
Does all acids contain electrliytes?
It's not so much that as all acid are electrolytes, though most are weak electrolytes.
