Is it possible for a solution to be both an electrolyte and an acid?

Yes!
An acid (generally speaking) will form H3O+, or hydronium ions (an extra H is attached to a water molecule) in aqueous solution.
An electrolyte is a solution whose aqueous solutions conduct electricity.
An example would be Hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid, HCl(aq) will completely disassociate in aqueous solution (dissolve), and hence form Hydronium ions.
Hydronium ions are very mobile in water, and will transfer the electrical charge throughout the solution, hence making it electricity conductible.

What is HC1 is it a acid base or both?
In solution this is hydrochloric acid. A strong acid.
Is produces hydroxide ions in solution an acid base or both?
both
Does sodium nitrate solution with dilute hydrochloric acid make sodiumsulphate?
How it is possible ? both reagent do not contain sulphate ions, sulphuric acid may form sodium sulphate with sodium nitrate.
Is KNO3 ionic?
When in doubt, look at the reactants that produce the substance. Potassium nitrate, KNO3, is produced in solution by mixing potassium hydroxide, KOH, and nitric acid, HNO3, which are both strong electrolytes, and so is potassium nitrate. Two strong electrolytes will produce a strong electrolyte, a weak and a strong electrolyte will produce a weak electrolyte, and two weak electrolytes will produce a weak electrolyte.
Is borax solution an acid or a base?
It is both. It releases a steady amount of both as it dissolves.
What is the Amount of benzoic acid to be neutralized by 20 mL NaOH solution in both moles and grams?
We need to know the Molarity (or Molality or formality) of both the acid and the NaOH solution in order to answer this question.
How much pH is in strong acid?
pH is not a measure of how strong an acid is. pH is a measure of the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution, which is dependent on both the strength of the acid or base and its concentration in a given solution.
How does the car battery work with the help of sulfuric acid?
It is both the electrolyte and is involved in both the oxidation and reduction reactions on the plates that generate electicity. It reacts with both plates to form lead sulphate.
Substance X is a molecular compound and is not an acid Based just on this information what can you determine about substance X?
X is not an electrolyte, since you know that it isn't an acid. molecular compounds can be both soluble and insoluble.
An acid solution would contain?
both the hydroxyl ion and the hydronium ion
Compare and contrast acid and bases?
Acid and Bases are different by its concentration of Hydrogen and Hydroxide. Acid is any compound that forms H+ ions in solution and base is a compound that forms OH- ions in solution. But Both are compounds forming a type of ion in a solution.
Is aqueous sulfuric acid solution a mixture?
Aqueous sulphuric acid is a solution which contains both sulphuric acid and water. So yes, it is a mixture...there is a term for two solutions which are "mixed" together but i forget what this is called.
