What else can I help you with?
Do bases and acids conduct electricity?
Yes, both bases and acids can conduct electricity when dissolved in water because they form ions that are free to carry electric charge. In bases, hydroxide ions (OH-) conduct electricity, while in acids, hydrogen ions (H+) conduct electricity.
Why do strong acid and bases conduct electricity better than weak acids and bases?
Strong acids and bases dissociate into their conjuagate forms more readily then weak varients. To conduct electricity they must dissociate into these forms due to the formal charges associated allowing them to conduct electricity HCL -> H+ + CL- CH3COOH -> CH3OO- + H+ Equilibrium constant for the first is a lot higher then the second showing that stronger acids fully dissociate. Hope this helps
Why do acids and bases conduct electricity in water when pure water does not?
Acids and bases dissociate into ions in water, allowing them to conduct electricity. Pure water, on the other hand, has low ionic content and resists the flow of electricity due to its low concentration of ions. When acids and bases are dissolved in water, they increase the concentration of ions in the solution, which enhances its conductivity.
Do stronger acids conduct more electricity?
A strong acid will be a better conductor of electricity as it tends to ionize or dissociate completely. Weak acids because they also ionize or dissociate will also conduct electricity but because they do not ionize to completion have fewer ions in solution and conductivity suffers because of it.
Strong acids are good conductors of?
Electricity this is true
Do bases and acids conduct electricity?
Yes, both bases and acids can conduct electricity when dissolved in water because they form ions that are free to carry electric charge. In bases, hydroxide ions (OH-) conduct electricity, while in acids, hydrogen ions (H+) conduct electricity.
What property is acidity?
Acids can conduct electricity, have a sour taste, and bases will neutralize its properties. Bases can conduct electricity, feel slippery, and acids will neutralize its properties.
All acids and bases contain what that causes them to conduct electricity?
ions

What do acid and bases have in common?
they both conduct electricity
Could any of the properties of acids and bases be conductors of electricity?
Yes, acids and bases that ionize in water can conduct electricity. When dissolved in water, acids release hydrogen ions (H+) and bases release hydroxide ions (OH-), which allow for the flow of electric current. Strong acids and bases are better conductors than weak ones.
What Electrical conductivity in acids and bases?
No. Pure water does not conduct electricity, but when something is put into water and dissociates (breaks apart), then electricity can travel across those ions. But this has nothing to do with pH.
What is the difference between a strong acid or base and a weak acid or base?
Strong acids/bases will dissociate to almost 100% in water and their conjugate base/acid will be weak. Weak acid/base will not dissociate well in water and their conjugate base/acid will be strong.
Is there anything acids and bases have in common?
They both have water in common, and both conduct electricity.
