Open in App
Solution

  1. Strong electrolytes possess greater conductivity than weak electrolytes since they can dissociate completely from their respective ions than weak electrolytes since they possess only a partial dissociation.
  2. Among Hydrochloric acid(HCl) and Acetic acid(CH3COOH), Acetic acid is weak electrolyte and Hydrochloric acid is a strong electrolyte.
  3. Hence, Hydrochloric acid has higher conductivity than Acetic acid.
