water is an weak electrolyte because of strong hydrogen bonding between water molecules

no water is not electrolite. but on addition of salt or any acid like HCl ,H2SO4 it becomes good electrolyte.

it is weak electrolyte.In pure water,out of 600000000 molecules on one molecule is ionized.

Is ammonium hydroxide electrolytes?

yes, it is a weak electrolytes


How strong are the electrolytes in lemons?

There are strong electrolytes and weak and non electrolytes. There is no very strong, or pretty strong, electrolytes. If they are strong, they are strong. So, in lemons, you have salts which are strong electrolytes, and you have citric acid, which is a weak electrolyte.


Are strong and weak bases examples of strong electrolytes?

Salt water, battery acid, lemon juice, orange juice etc.


Is CH3CO2H a strong or weak electrolyte?

no, it's a non-electrolyte because it's not a weak acid/base. all molecular compounds that aren't acids/bases are non-electrolytes.


Are strong acids poor electrolytes?

All acids and bases are electrolytes. However, the strong acids or bases are strong electrolytes, and the weak acids or bases are weak electrolytes. Electrolytes are substances, that when dissolved in water, produce ions capable of conducting electricity. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a strong base, and strong electrolyte. Hydrogen bromide is a strong acid, and also a strong electrolyte. Ionic compounds generally form good electrolytes because they completely ionize when dissolved in water, and can then conduct electricity. Gatorade can be marketed as an "electrolyte containing beverage" because when the ionic salt, NaCl (table salt) or KCl, is added to water, it ionizes into Na+ and Cl-, which then are able to conduct electricity. Pure water is a very weak base, and bad conductor of electricity; there aren't enough free ions to carry a charge. We need electrolytes for conduction of nerve impulses, which are electrical. The reason why we even consume sports drinks is because we lose ionic salts in our sweat. Loss of too much salt through perspiration, and intake of too much pure water, diminishes our ability to conduct nerve impulses - which results in cramping, fatigue, and in extreme cases, death. In short, sports drinks are, without sugar and flavoring, just water with small amounts of different salts thrown in - and acids and bases are electrolytes.

What are the differences between a strong electrolyte and weak electrolyte and non electrolyte?

first of all new guy was here any way here is the answer,An electrolyte refers to a substance that contains free ions and can be used as an electrically conductive medium. Most of the solute doesnot dissociate in a weak electrolyte whereas in a strong electrolyte a higher ratio of solute dissociates to form free ions. Some examples of strong and weak electrolytes are as follows: Weak electrolytes: H2SO4, HCl Strong electrolytes: NaNO3, NaCl, Na2SO4

No. Many strong electrolytes are bases or neutral salts.
