Equilibria of Acids and Bases

Question 14 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B

A solution conducts an electric current more easily when the solution contains more ions. An acidic solution conducts an electric current very easily. What type of acid is in this solution?

Answer
A
a weak acid because it dissociates completely
B
a strong acid because it dissociates completely
C
a weak acid because it dissociates partially
D
a strong acid because it dissociates partially

Explanation

Strong acids dissociate completely in water, producing many ions. Since more ions allow a solution to conduct electricity more easily, the solution contains a strong acid that dissociates completely. A weak acid dissociates only partially, so it produces fewer ions.
