The correct Answer is:
To determine the best conductor of electricity in a 1M solution among the given options, we need to analyze the ionization properties of each compound. The conductivity of a solution largely depends on the concentration of ions present, which are responsible for carrying the electric current. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Options**: The options provided are: - Acetic Acid - H2SO4 (Sulfuric Acid) - H3PO4 (Phosphoric Acid) - Boric Acid 2. **Analyze Acetic Acid**: - Acetic Acid (CH3COOH) is a weak acid. - It does not ionize completely in solution. - Therefore, it produces fewer ions, resulting in lower conductivity. 3. **Analyze H2SO4 (Sulfuric Acid)**: - H2SO4 is a strong acid and is known for its complete ionization. - In the first step, it dissociates into H+ and HSO4- ions. - In the second step, HSO4- can further dissociate into H+ and SO4^2- ions. - This results in a high concentration of ions, making it an excellent conductor of electricity. 4. **Analyze H3PO4 (Phosphoric Acid)**: - H3PO4 is a weak acid and does not ionize completely. - It produces fewer ions compared to strong acids, thus it is not a good conductor of electricity. 5. **Analyze Boric Acid**: - Boric Acid (H3BO3) is also a weak acid. - It does not release H+ ions on its own; it requires water to ionize. - This limited ionization results in low conductivity. 6. **Conclusion**: - Among the given options, H2SO4 (Sulfuric Acid) is the best conductor of electricity in a 1M solution due to its complete ionization and high concentration of ions. ### Final Answer: The best conductor of electricity in a 1M solution is **H2SO4 (Sulfuric Acid)**. ---
