![]() Problem 4-23 |
a. An electrolyte is a compound that produces ions when added to a solvent
b. An electrolyte is considered "strong" when it is completely dissociated.
c. All acids are electrolytes (generate H+ in solution) in water. However, very few of them are completely dissociated (strong).
You must know the following strong acids in NYA: HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, HClO4, HClO3, H2SO4 (first proton)
d. soluble ionic compounds are generally strong electrolytes. However, some of them have low solubility.
