Question

Bradley was working in the lab. He accidentally poured a container of concentrated hydrochloric acid into his container of distilled water. Not thinking much of it, he continued with his work as if nothing happened. Which of these would be the result of this laboratory accident?

Answer 1

Answer is: The solution has now become a good conductor of electricity.

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) dissociate on positive ions or cations of hydogen (H⁺) and negative ions or anions of chlorine (Cl⁻) accordinf to balanced chemical reaction:

HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

When there are free cations and ions, water solution can conduct electricity.
