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.
