A strong electrolyte is a solution in which a large fraction of the dissolved solute exists as ions. Ionic compounds, and some polar compounds, are completely broken apart into ions and thus conduct a current very well—this makes them strong electrolytes.
Strong electrolytes are electrolytes that are entirely ionized. Eg sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide. While weak electrolytes are electrolytes that are partially ionized. Eg, oxalic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, ammonium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide.
Strong electrolytes are those electrolytes that dissociate or are ionized completely in their aqueous solution. These electrolytes have high electrical conductivity with a higher extension of ionization. For example, NaCl, HCl, NaOH, etc.
Substances which fully or partially dissociate into ions solution are known as electrolytes. A strong electrolyte is one which dissociates completely. Strong acids dissociate completely into their ions and thus, are also strong electrolytes.
Strong electrolytes completely ionize when dissolved, and no neutral molecules are formed in solution. Since NaCl is an ionic solid (s), which consists of cations Na+ and anions Cl−, no molecules of NaCl are present in NaCl solid or NaCl solution. The ionization is said to be complete.
In general, the lower the concentration and the lower the charges on the ions, the "stronger" the electrolytes will be. Alkali metals other than lithium are usually strong electrolytes especially when the anion also has a small charge, and in dilute solutions (<0.1M).
Some species, such as sodium chloride (NaCl), readily produce ions in aqueous solutions and are thus strong electrolytes (they readily conduct current). Other substances, such as acetic acid, produce relatively few ions when dissolved in water and are weak electrolytes (barely conducts current).
All soluble ionic compounds are strong electrolytes. They conduct very well because they provide a plentiful supply of ions in solution. Some polar covalent compounds are also strong electrolytes. Common examples are HCl, HBr, HI and H2SO4, all of which react with H2O to form large concentrations of ions.
Because glucose is a polar covalent compound, it dissolves well in water but does not ionize to produce ions in the solution. Because there are no ions in the solution, the solution cannot conduct electricity, and the indicator bulb will not light up. For these reasons, glucose is considered a nonelectrolyte.
The relative strength of an acid can be predicted based on its chemical structure. In general, an acid is stronger when the H–A bond is more polar. Acidity is also greater when the H–A bond is weaker and when the conjugate base, A⁻, is more stable.
A strong acid is an acid which is completely ionized in an aqueous solution. A weak acid is an acid that ionizes only slightly in an aqueous solution.
The acid and base dissociation constant is the measure of the strength of the acids and bases. The higher the dissociation constant the stronger the acid or base.
Important criteria for electrolyte selection are electrochemical stability , i.e., it should be of high potential window and good ionic conductivity that influences energy (10.1) and power density (10.2) of the electrochemical supercapacitor cell, respectively.
Electrolytes are substances that have a natural positive or negative electrical charge when dissolved in water. An adult's body is about 60% water, which means nearly every fluid and cell in your body contains electrolytes.
Common causes of electrolyte imbalance include water intoxication, dehydration, hyponatremia, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and environmental factors, such as excessive sweating.
An electrolyte can be defined as the compound that can be completely dissociated into ions and can conduct electricity by allowing the flow of electrons. As strong acids and strong bases are dissociating into ions easily. These are also strong electrolytes.
There are two types of electrolytes- strong and weak electrolytes. A strong electrolyte is an electrolyte that dissolves almost completely in water. An example of a strong electrolyte is Hydrogen Chloride (HCl). A weak electrolyte is an electrolyte that doesn't dissolve completely in water.
Strong electrolytes fall into three categories: strong acids, strong bases, and salts. (Salts are sometimes also called ionic compounds, but really strong bases are ionic compounds as well.) The weak electrolytes include weak acids and weak bases.
The issue is similar with bases: a strong base is a base that is 100% ionized in solution. If it is less than 100% ionized in solution, it is a weak base.
Sugar readily dissolves in water, but because it does not dissociate into ions in solution, it is considered a nonelectrolyte; solutions containing glucose do not, therefore, conduct electricity.
The answer is E) nonelectrolyte.
The sugar can be dissolved in water but does not undergo ionization or does not dissociate into ions. Because of this, we can describe sugar as a nonelectrolyte molecule.
