Which one of the following solutions will have highest conductivity?

  1. A \(0.1 \mathrm{M} \quad \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}\)
  2. B \(0.1 \mathrm{M} \quad \mathrm{NaCl}\)
  3. C \(0.1 \mathrm{M} \quad \mathrm{KNO}_{3}\)
  4. D \(0.1 \mathrm{M} \quad \mathrm{HCl}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.1 \mathrm{M} \quad \mathrm{HCl}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{HCl}\) and \(\mathrm{KNO}_{3}\) both are strong electrolyte but \(\mathrm{HCl}\) have aqueous component \(\mathrm{H}^{+}\), which has highest conductivity. \(\therefore \mathrm{HCl}\) will have highest conductivity.
