Can every strong electrolyte be considered a strong acid?
No. Many strong electrolytes are bases or neutral salts.
Is an electrolyte a salt?
Many salts are electrolytes but not all; also exist electrolytes which are not salts.
Are all minerals electrolytes?
Most salt dissolve in water, then they're electrolytes by forming ions in solution.
Do salts when heated lost its electrolytes?
They remain electrolytes until they are not thermally decomposed in other compounds.
Are acids bases and salts electrolytes?
Always. So long as you get the ratio correct, they always will.
What are the examples of weak salts?
These salts are weak electrolytes: examples are acetates, formates etc. of alkali metals.
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.
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

Does semen have electrolytes?
Electrolytes are the solutions of salts, acids and bases and semen has numerous electrolytes. They include both acids and salts.
What is the difference between a salt and a electrolyte?
Electrolytes are easier for the body to absorb for nutritional value than salts. Essentially, salts are just salts, while electrolytes are salts plus more, such as potassium.
Are salts strong electolytes?
Many salts in solution or molten are electrolytes.
Is ammonium hydroxide electrolytes?
yes, it is a weak 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.
Why aren't all electrolytes salts?
Because not only salts can be dissociated in ions.
