Is C2H5OH an electrolyte

Answer 1

Organic molecules are typically considered to be terrible electrolytes (molecules that dissociate into ions). Because of strong covalent bonds, organics usually stick together. So the answer is "no".

Answer 2

It's impossible to tell without knowing the actual structure, although honestly, I'm having a hard time seeing how something with that formula could even be a legitimate compound, let alone an electrolyte.

A quick Google search reveals that some people mistakenly seem to believe that to be the formula for glucose (it isn't even close; glucose is C6H12O6). If you were one of these people, then glucose is not an electrolyte.

Answer 3

No, C3H7OH is an non electrolyte.

Answer 4

Yes, C2H5OH (ethanol) is a weak electrolyte. It can conduct electricity to a small extent when dissolved in water, as it partially ionizes into ions like CH3CH2O- and H+.

Answer 5

Yes
