Does basic solution conduct electricity
Does basic solution conduct electricity
Open in App
Solution
- Both acidic and basic solutions in water conduct electricity.
- Acids, when dissolved in water release the H+ and bases when dissolved in water release the OH- ions.
- Any substance that produces ions is a good conductor of electricity...
- since baseproduces ions in water they are good conductors of electricity(strong bases)....
- for example sodium hydrooxide pottasium hydroxid etc. however weak base are notgood conductor of electricity same is for acids
- These ions are charged species and so act as charge carriers. In other words the conductivity of these solutions is due to the movement of these ions.
