Solution
The correct option is A Weak acid
The explanation for the correct option:
(A) Weak acid: The solution contains molecules and ions of the solute
Weak acid
- These are poor conductors of electricity and allow only small amounts of current to flow through them.
- These solutions contain ions as well as undissociated molecules
- It is a weak electrolyte
The explanation for the incorrect option:
(B) Strong acid - it is a strong electrolyte hence the aqueous solution of it contains only ions, not molecules.
(C) Strong base - it is a strong electrolyte hence the aqueous solution of it contains only ions, not molecules.
(D) Salt solution - it is a strong electrolyte hence the aqueous solution of it contains only ions, not molecules.
Thus, Option (A) which is weak acid is the correct option for the statement The solution contains both ions and molecules.
