Answer 2

Answer is: The solution has now become a good conductor of electricity.

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) dissociate on positive ions or cations of hydogen (H⁺) and negative ions or anions of chlorine (Cl⁻) accordinf to balanced chemical reaction:

HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

When there are free cations and ions, water solution can conduct electricity.
