The strength of an acid is expressed by its Ka value (acid 'equilibrium' constant) or its derivative pKa value ( pKa=-log10[Ka] )
The relation with the strength of the conjugate base, (Kb , pKb values) is as follows:
- Ka * Kb = 1.0*10-14 at 25oC
- pKa + pKb = 14.00 at 25oC

∙ 12y agoThe relationship is that all weak acids/bases are weak electrolytes. However, not all weak electrolytes are weak acids/bases.

Is vitamin d an acid base or electrolyte?
electrolyte
What is the relationship if any between strong electrolyte and strong acid or base?
A strong electrolyte is an ionic compound which is completely dissociated in dilute solution. It may be an acid, a base or neither. Strong acids are strong electrolytes which produce hydrogen ions in water, and strong bases are strong electrolytes which produce hydroxide ions in water.
Is Na3PO4 a strong or weak electrolyte?
Sodium hydroxide is a strong base and electrolyte.
Explain how the relationship between the strengths of an acid and its conjugate base and of a base and its conjugated acid?
If acid is strong then its conjugate base must be weak, if conjugate base is strong it again accept the H+ ions so acid can neither be strong, similarly if base is strong its conjugate acid must be weak.

Is electrolyte a metal?
No, An electrolyte is typically an ionic compound, and acid, or a base.
