dude, an electrolyte is any substance containing free ions that make the substance electrically conductive. The most typical electrolyte is an ionic solution, but molten electrolytes and solid electrolytes are also possible.
Commonly, electrolytes are solutions of acids, bases or salts. Furthermore, some gases may act as electrolytes under conditions of high temperature or low pressure. Electrolyte solutions can also result from the dissolution of some biological (e.g., DNA, polypeptides) and synthetic polymers (e.g., polystyrene sulfonate), termed polyelectrolytes, which contain charged functional groups.
Electrolyte solutions are normally formed when a salt is placed into a solvent such as water and the individual components dissociate due to the thermodynamic interactions between solvent and solute molecules, in a process called solvation. For example, when table salt, NaCl, is placed in water, the salt (a solid) dissolves into its component ions, according to the dissociation reaction

What happens when your electrolytes are low?
There are many dangers associated with low electrolytes. One of the main ones is dehydration which can cause death if left untreated. Electrolytes hydrate the body and when they are low the body does not work well. Sports drinks can give your body the electrolytes it needs after exerting yourself.
Are electrolytes better that water?
electrolytes are in water. They are substances that allow your body to work and move, so when you work hard Ike during p.e the electroyltes come out in sweat. If you have a drink that was more electrolytes than water it's good, Water is natural so it doesn't ahce many, remember that
Which substance is composed of ions electrolytes or non electrolytes?
These substances are the electrolytes.
Does mitochondria work faster with water or a sport drink?
sport drink. they are full of electrolytes
How long does take for electrolytes to work?
It should help as soon as you drink it. It also helps you with a hangover.
How do you replenish the electrolytes in your body after a workout?
Sports drinks have electrolytes in them just be careful they also have high fructose corn syrup in them so be sure if you drink them you also work out or get some type of physical activity.
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.
How many electrolytes have in musuloskeletal system?
There are 54 electrolytes.
Is ammonium hydroxide electrolytes?
yes, it is a weak electrolytes
Are all minerals electrolytes?
Most salt dissolve in water, then they're electrolytes by forming ions in solution.
what type of compounds produce electrolytes and which produce non-electrolytes?
Ionic compounds produce electrolytes; covalent compounds not.
How could you measure electrolytes in drinks?
You can measure electrolytes in drinks by first checking the temperature and then comparing it to the usage of electrolytes.
