Aqueous solution of which of the following compounds is the best conductor of electric current?

A

Ammonia, `NH_(3)`

B

Fructose, `C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)`

C

Acetic acid, `C_(2)H_(4)O_(2)`

D

Hydrochloric `HCl`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Fructose is non-electrolyte, while ammonia ans acetic acid are weak electrolytes. On the other hand, hydrochloric acid `(HCl)` is a strong electrolyte i.e., it ionizes almost sompletely into `H^(+)` and `Cl^(-)` ions. Thus, aqueous solution of `HCl` is the best conductor of electric current.
