Question

Give appropriate scientific reasons for the following statements:
The electrical conductivity of acetic acid is less in comparison to the electrical conductivity of dilute sulphuric acid at a gievn concentration.

Open in App

Solution

Acetic acid is a weak acid whereas sulphuric acid is a strong acid. Weak acid partially dissociates in aqueous solution thereby producing less number of ions compared to strong acid. Therefore electrical conductivity of sulphuric acid is more.
