Pretty much any dissociation into ions between 0% and 100%
Substances may be identified as strong, weak, or nonelectrolytes by measuring the electrical conductance of an aqueous solution containing the substance
Strong and Weak Electrolytes
Strong bases- eg, NaOH, KOH, LiOH, Ba
The general form of the strong electrolyte equation is: strong electrolyte (aq) → cation + (aq) + anion - (aq) Strong Electrolyte Examples
Whereas Weak Electrolytes are compounds that
Sulfuric acid is a highly corrosive strong mineral acid with the molecular formula \(\ce{H2SO4}\)
Originally, a "strong electrolyte" was defined as a chemical compound that, when in aqueous solution, is a good conductor of electricity
The electrolyte which allows a large amount of electricity to flow through them is called strong electrolyte
Sulfuric acid is a diprotic acid and has a wide range of applications including use in domestic acidic drain cleaners, [as an electrolyte in lead-acid batteries, and in various cleaning agents
So, t hey have high electrical conductivity
Weak electrolyte Nonelectrolyte Strong electrolyte
The pH of Baking Sosa is about 9, not 14
Sucrose: OH
Some other polar molecular compounds become electrolytes upon being dissolved into water, but do not ionize to very great extent
Hydrogen chloride \(\left( \ce{HCl} \right)\) ionizes completely into hydrogen ions and chloride ions in water
9: Strong and Weak Electrolytes
Study with Quizlet and memorize flashcards containing terms like In the reaction below, classify the chemical species as the type of electrolyte
a
Weak acids and weak bases are weak electrolytes
Exercise 3
Both salt (NaCl) and table sugar, glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6) dissolve in water
Hence, only glucose is a non-electrolyte
If an acid is not listed in Table 10
