If you mean strong acids then yes, strong acids are strong electrolytes.

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.


Strong electrolytes are those in which?

Strong electrolytes are substances that completely dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, leading to high electrical conductivity. Examples include strong acids, strong bases, and soluble salts.


Which phrase is not true about strong acids?

"Strong acids are weak electrolytes" is not true about strong acids. Strong acids completely dissociate in water to form ions, resulting in strong electrical conductivity.


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.


Are all acid solutions strong electrolytes?

Not all acid solutions are strong electrolytes. Strong acids, such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid, completely dissociate into ions in solution, leading to strong electrical conductivity. Weak acids, such as acetic acid, only partially dissociate, resulting in a lower concentration of ions and weaker electrical conductivity.

Can every strong electrolyte be considered a strong acid?

No, not all strong electrolytes are strong acids. Strong electrolytes include strong acids, strong bases, and soluble salts. Strong acids are a subset of strong electrolytes that fully dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, leading to a high concentration of ions in solution.


Are strong acids strong electrolyters?

Yes. Strong acids dissociate completely in solution. Hence they are generally strong electrolytes.

What are strong electrolytes weak electrolytes and nonelectrolytes?

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


A substance that completely dissociates into its ions in solution?

A strong electrolyte is a substance that dissociates completely into positive and negative ions in its solution. Examples of strong electrolytes that are acids are hydrochloric and nitric acids.


Why are Arrhenius acids strong electrolytes?

Because they dissociate completely in water to produce H+ ions in solution.


What property do strong acids have?

They are highly corrosive in nature and dissociate extensively in solutions. They behave as good electrolytes.
