  • Ionic compounds are always strong electrolytes.
  • Covalent compounds are non-electrolytes.
  • Strong acids, strong bases and salts are always strong electrolytes

A strong electrolyte dissociates completely in solution in a polar solvent into charged particles; a weak electrolyte dissociates in solution in a polar solvent only to a sufficient extent to satisfy an equilibrium between dissociated and undissociated forms; and a nonelectrolyte does not dissociate into charged particles in solution at all.

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.


Can every strong electrolyte be considered a strong acid?

No. Many strong electrolytes are bases or neutral salts.


How do you determine if a compound is electrolyte or nonelectrolyte?

Electrolytes: acids, bases, and salts (ionic compounds) Nonelectrolytes: usually covalent compounds with the exception of acids. Ionic compounds : One of the ions has a positive charge (called a "cation") and the other has a negative charge ("anion") *Electrolytes can be strong or weak


Is NH4OH a weak or strong electrolytes?

Weak electrolyte


Is K3PO4 a strong or weak or non electrolytes?

strong


Why doesn't the pH partition hyothesis work for strong electrolytes or nonelectrolytes?

Their absorption and excretion does not depend on their extent of ionization in an aqueous environment or pH and pKa.


Would you describe a weak acid as a strong electrolyte?

No, a weak acid is a weak electrolyte Strong electrolytes - strong acids, bases, salts, and ionic compounds


Are strong and weak bases examples of strong electrolytes?

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


Are strong bases good electrolytes?

Weak bases are indeed poor electrolytes. This is because they produce a smaller amount of ions than strong bases. The amount of ions produced is what makes something a strong or weak electrolyte or acid and base.


What is the difference between electrolytes and nonelectrolytes?

electrolytes react with water to form ions in solution, and nonelectrolytes have molecules.Electrolytes are ionic compounds and some covalent compounds like strong acids. Non electrolytes do not ionize in water. Only covalent compounds like CH4 and C6H6 can be nonelectrolytes-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------♥Compounds whose solutions in water or whose molten states are capable of conducting electricity are called electrolytes. They are either acids, bases, or salts. Solutions of these compounds contain ions. Electrolytes which in solution are completely or almost completely in the form of ions are called strong electrolytes. They are very good conductors. Those whose solutions contain mostly covalent molecules are poor conductors of electricity and are called weak electrolytes. Non electrolytes are compounds whose solutions DO NOT conduct electricity. ^^;


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


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.
