The electrical conductivity of a 1 M HCN solution is much less than the conductivity of a 1 M HCl solution because:

-HCl is a weak electrolyte, HCN is a strong electrolyte.

-HCl is a strong electrolyte, HCN is a weak electrolyte.

-HCN contains more atoms than HCl so it has greater mass.

-HCl has a greater mass than HCN.

-The charge on the chloride ion is higher than the charge on the cyanide ion.

Expert Solution

Electrical conductivity is higher for a solution having higher concentration of ions. Stronger electrolyte higher concentration of ions.

The electrical conductivity of a 1 M HCN solution is much less than the conductivity of a 1 M HCl solution because HCl is a strong electrolyte, HCN is a weak electrolyte.
