Anhydrous HCl is a poor conductor while aqueous HCl is an excellent conductor. Why? |
|
Answer» This is because anhydrous HCl does not contain any free ions. But when HCl is dissolved in water, it dissociates into hydronium ion (H3O +) and chloride ion (Cl–). Due to the presence of free ions, aqueous solution of HCl conducts electricity. |
