>>>Describe abnormal conductance of H+ ion and OH- ion in aqueous

solution.

Ans: Abnormal conductance of H+ ion and OH- ion in aqueous solution can be described
as follows:

1. Conductance of H+ ion: In aqueous solution, H+ ions are highly reactive and tend to
form hydronium ions (H3O+). The conductance of H+ ions is influenced by the
concentration of hydronium ions, which in turn depends on the acidity of the solution.
In acidic solutions, the concentration of hydronium ions is high, resulting in a high
conductance of H+ ions. However, in basic solutions, the concentration of hydronium
ions is low, leading to a low conductance of H+ ions.

2. Conductance of OH- ion: In aqueous solution, OH- ions are highly reactive and tend to
form water molecules. The conductance of OH- ions is influenced by the concentration
of hydroxide ions, which in turn depends on the basicity of the solution. In basic
solutions, the concentration of hydroxide ions is high, resulting in a high conductance of
OH- ions. However, in acidic solutions, the concentration of hydroxide ions is low,
leading to a low conductance of OH- ions.

3. Abnormal conductance: In some cases, the conductance of H+ and OH- ions may not
follow the expected behavior based on the acidity or basicity of the solution. This can
occur due to factors such as the presence of impurities or complex formation with other
ions. For example, in some solutions containing salts or acids, the conductance of H+
and OH- ions may be higher than expected due to the formation of complex ions or the
presence of impurities that enhance conductivity. Similarly, in some solutions containing
strong acids or bases, the conductance of H+ and OH- ions may be lower than expected
due to the formation of weakly conducting species.
