Question

_____ present in the lemon juice acts as electrolyte.

• A. Sulphuric acid
• B. Nitric acid
• C. Hydrochloric acid
• D. Citric acid

Answer 1

The correct option is D Citric acid

Acids are electrolytes because they break into negatively charged anions and positively charged cations when they are placed in a solution. The electrolytic solution then conducts electricity.

Lemon juice contains citric acid. Citric acid is dissolved in water and conducts electricity so it acts as an electrolyte. But citric acid present in the lemon juice is a weak electrolyte.

So the answer is D.
