To determine the conductivity of acidic solutions, we would generally consider the strength of the acids and the degree of ionization in solution. The conductivity of an acidic solution increases with the concentration of ions present.
- HA: If HA is a strong acid, it will dissociate completely in solution, leading to a high conductivity.
- HB: If HB is a weak acid, it will only partially dissociate, resulting in fewer ions in solution and, consequently, lower conductivity than a strong acid.
- HC: If HC is a strong acid as well, its conductivity might be similar to that of HA, assuming it is also highly concentrated.
Assuming standard conditions and that HA and HC are strong acids while HB is a weak acid, the order from least conductive to most conductive would likely be:
- HB (weak acid, lowest conductivity)
- HA (strong acid, higher conductivity)
- HC (strong acid, potentially equal or higher conductivity depending on concentration)
So, the order would be: HB < HA < HC.
If you have specific details regarding the acids (e.g., strength or concentration), please provide them for a more precise assessment!
