Option 2 : Statement 2 is correct
The correct answer is 2 i.e. Statement 2 is correct.
Explanation:
- An acid that is completely ionized in water and thus produces a large amount of hydrogen ions is called a strong acid.
- Hydrochloric acid is completely ionized in water, so it is a strong acid.
- Sulphuric acid and nitric acid are also strong acids because they are fully ionized in water to produce a large amount of hydrogen ions.
- Due to a large amount of hydrogen ions in their solution, strong acids react very rapidly with other substances (such as metals, metal carbonates and metal hydrogen carbonates, etc).
- Strong acids also have a high electrical conductivity because of the high concentration of hydrogen ions in their solution.
- Thus, all the strong acids are strong electrolytes.
