In a laboratory experiment, a solution of Barium hydroxide () is slowly added to a beaker of dilute Sulfuric acid (). The electrical conductivity of the solution is measured throughout the process. It is observed that the conductivity reaches a near-zero minimum at the point of complete neutralization. What does this observation reveal about the common properties of acids and bases in aqueous solutions?
A.Both acids and bases rely on free-moving ions ( and ) for conductivity; during neutralization, these ions are removed to form water and an insoluble precipitate, leaving no mobile ions.
B.Acids and bases are only acidic or basic when they are in gaseous form; mixing them in water causes them to reach a solid, non-conducting state.
C.The observation suggests that the common factor in acids and bases is the presence of the sulfate ion, which becomes inactive when it reacts with barium.
D.The conductivity falls because the reaction between any acid and any base is highly endothermic, and the loss of heat prevents ions from moving through the solution.
