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

Is H2S04 a non electrolyte?

No H2SO4 (sulphuric acid) dose conduct electricity. in general, acids conduct electricity. Strong acids are strong conductors of electricity.


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


Is acid a part of electricity?

Acids are not part of electricity, though acids can conduct electricity.


What allows acids to conduct electric current?

An strong acid strongly conducts electricity because contains a large number of ions. Acids can be described as proton donors, or electron acceptors. These ions, when in water, act as charge carriers and can hence conduct electricity (strong electrolytes).


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.


How acids and salts conduct electricity?

They conduct electricity only if they are electrolytes: in water solutions or when they are melted.


Can acids conduct electricity?

acid can conduct electricity when dissolved in water because they produce h+ ions


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.


Did acidic acid conduct electricity and why?

No, acetic acid does not conduct electricity well because it is a weak acid. Weak acids only partially dissociate into ions in water, so they do not produce enough ions to carry an electric current. Strong acids, on the other hand, fully dissociate in water and thus conduct electricity well.


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.


Do strong acids and bases conduct more or less electricity than weak ones?

Strong acids and bases conduct more electricity than weak ones because they ionize completely in solution, creating more charged particles that can carry electric current. Weak acids and bases only partially ionize, resulting in fewer charged particles and lower conductivity.
