To determine the order of acidic solutions from least conductive to most conductive, we need to consider the strength of the acids and their degree of ionization in solution.
- Strong acids completely dissociate in water, producing more ions and therefore have higher conductivity.
- Weak acids do not completely dissociate, resulting in fewer ions and lower conductivity.
Without specific information on the strengths of HA, HB, and HC, we can only infer their relative strengths based on standard conventions (for example, a generally known sequence of acid strength).
Assuming:
- HA is a weak acid
- HB is a stronger acid than HA but not the strongest
- HC is a strong acid
We would arrange them based on their conductivity as:
- HA (least conductive)
- HB (moderately conductive)
- HC (most conductive)
Thus, the correct order showing the acidic solutions from least conductive to most conductive would be:
A) HA, HB, HC
If this assumption is accurate considering the typical strength order of acids, A would be the correct answer.
