All electrolytes are conductors because they have free ions in solution or in molten state which start motion towards their respective electrodes when electric current is passed and hence conduct electric current.

conductivity of water depends on ion present in water or not.simple water has conductivity but pure water which do not contain any ion is none conductive.

How are acids related to electrolytes and electrical conductivity?

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.


Is acetic acid is an electrolytes?

Glacial Acetic acid is not an Electrolyte. It fails the electrode test hands down. However C2H3O2 (aq) is slightly conductive. When Glacial Acetic acid is mixed with something like Ammonia NH3 it is Very Conductive

What chemical solution is best to use in your hydrogen generator in your truck to make hydrogen?

Potassium hydroxide solutions are typically used in hydrogen generators. Many other electrolytes, such as sodium chloride, will produce other products (in the cause of NaCl, chlorine gas) which can destroy the system. Sodium hydroxide can also be used, but some sources report that KOH solutions are more conductive. In either case, these electrolytes will provide a very conductive solution without producing undesirable byproducts. A 10% w/v solution of either of these compounds should be satisfactory.
