Why do acids and bases have a good conduction of electricity?

1 answer:

7 0

All acids only conduct electric current when they are dissolved in water, because when they are in an aqueous medium, they undergo ionization, i.e. release <span>ions.</span><span>

HCl --> H</span>⁺ + Cl⁻

The bases also conduct electric current in solution, because the Ionic dissociation sufferers (release the existing ions in the formula) and molecular ionization, suffer the reacting with water and releasing ions.

NaOH ---> Na⁺ + OH⁻

hope this helps!

Answer:

Diagram 1

Explanation:

The solubility of the oxygen gas in water has to do with the interaction of the oxygen with the dipoles in water.

Water is a polar molecule having oxygen as the negative dipole and hydrogen as the positive dipole.

Water can interact with the oxygen atoms in the molecule via intermolecular hydrogen bonds with molecular oxygen as shown in diagram 1.
