Chapter 16, Problem 16.42QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: An explanation corresponding to the fact that a solution of $\text{HCl}$ dissolved in ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ is an excellent conductor of electricity is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The conductivity of the solution depends on the concentration of ions present in it. Concentration of ions in a solution depends on the mole ratio between the cation and anions and the dissolved substance.

To determine: An explanation corresponding to the fact that a solution of $\text{HCl}$ dissolved in ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ is an excellent conductor of electricity.
