Aqueous solution of which of the following compounds is the best conductor of electric current?

1. (a) Acetic acid, C2H4O2
2. (b) Hydrochloric acid, HCl
3. (c) Ammonia, NH3
4. (d) Fructose, C6H12O6

Correct answer: (b) Hydrochloric acid, HCl

Solution

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong electrolyte, meaning it completely ionizes in water to produce a high concentration of ions, making it the best conductor of electric current among the given options.
