The highest electrical conductivity of the following aqueous solutions is of:

  1. A
    acetic acid
  2. B
    chloroacetic acid
  3. C
    fluoroacetic acid
  4. D
    difluoroacetic acid

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Electrical conductivity in these solutions depends on the concentration of ions, which is determined by the strength of the acid.Difluoroacetic acid () has two strongly electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms.These atoms increase the acidity (lower ) through the effect, leading to a higher degree of dissociation.More dissociation means more ions, resulting in the highest electrical conductivity.
