yes, Aqueous solutions of acids and bases have the ability to conduct electricity.

Explanation:

In Aqueous solutions both Acids and bases furnish hydrogen (H+) and hydroxide (OH‐) ions respectively when dissolved in water.

  • It can get ionised which can conduct electricity.

Remember these facts -

  1. The electric current is carried through the solution by ions.
  2. Solutions of glucose and alcohol do not conduct electricity indicating that they do not form ions.
  3. Acids produce hydrogen ions ( H+ ) ( aq ) , which are responsible for the acidic properties of all acids.
  4. when concentrated acid is diluted, then the concentration of H+ (aq) ions per unit volume decreases and thus , the strength of an acid decreases.
  5. Ethyl alcohol ( C2H5OH) contains hydroxyl group (-OH) . But since it does not ionise in the Aqueous solution to give OH‐ ( hydroxide) ions, hence ethyl alcohol cannot be termed as a base.
  6. The Aqueous solution of bases conduct electricity.
