Answer to Question #74317 in General Chemistry for Kendra Francis

Question

What difference in conductivity would you expect to see, if any, in the following three solutions? 10M HCL, 1M HCL, and 0.1M HCL Explain why.

Answer 1

10M solution will be the most conductive, 1M will be 10 times worse to conduct electricity, 0.1M will be 100 times worse to conduct electric current. When dissolved in water, HCL will decay into ions that conduct electrical current in solutions. The more of them, the better the conductivity (In very concentrated solutions, the dependence varies slightly).
