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.


Is ammonium hydroxide electrolytes?

Ammonium hydroxide is a weak base and can dissociate into ammonium ions (NH4+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution, making it a weak electrolyte. It conducts electricity to a limited extent compared to strong electrolytes like strong acids and bases.


Which bases are weak electrolytes?

Weak electrolytes are substances that partially dissociate into ions in solution. Examples include weak acids like acetic acid (CH3COOH), weak bases like ammonia (NH3), and some salts like lead(II) chloride (PbCl2).


Are the weak electrolytes in water?

water is an weak electrolyte because of strong hydrogen bonding between water molecules


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.

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.

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


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

What is a true statement about weak electrolytes?

Weak electrolytes are substances that partially dissociate into ions in water, resulting in a low conductivity compared to strong electrolytes. They include weak acids, weak bases, and some salts. Weak electrolytes do not completely ionize in solution, leading to a reversible reaction dynamic.


What are weak electrolytes in water?

weak acids/bases.

Is NH4OH a weak or strong electrolytes?

Weak electrolyte


Are the weak electrolytes in water?

What do you think about acids and bases?

I think acids donate electrons and bases accept electrons. Both acid and bases can be weak or strong, that is good or poor electrolytes. What else is there to think?


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.
