I don't believe it is the citric acid which makes Gatorade an electrolytic solution. I think its the salt which makes Gatorade an electrolytic solution because when salt is dissolved in a liquid, the already charged NA1+ and Cl1- ions are spread throughout the liquid, allowing it to conduct electric current, thus allowing it to be an electrolytic solution. I'm not really too sure though, because NaCl overall will have no charge so I'm a bit confused by this as well. Anyways all I'm sure of is that salt+water=water conducts electric current.

Vinegar is a weak solution of what?
Vinegar is a weak solution of acetic acid.
A small amount of acid is added to a buffer solution the pH of the solution will?
A small amount of acid is added to a buffer solution. The pH of the solution will stay about the same.
Why is an acid spill dangerous?
because anyone could slip on it. because anyone could slip on it.
A solution that is a 4 on the pH scale is a?
A solution which has a pH lower than 7 is a acid.
How do you calculate the strength of 1 M HCl?
The strength of an acid is the extent to which it is dissociated into ions in dilute solution, and cannot be calculated from a molarity, which is a measure of concentration, not strength. Hydrocholoric acid is a strong acid. It is completely dissociated in I M solution.
What is the common name of citic acid?
What is 'citic acid'. Do you mean 'Citric Acid'? However, the IUPAC name is 1-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-trioic acid'.
What is Gatorade really chemistry?
Gatorade is a water solution of sugars, flavors, sodium chloride, citric acid and many other solutes.
Is there acid in Gatorade?
No, sulfuric acid is toxic and caustic.
What happens during a chemical reactions involving acids bases and water?
Acid + Base = Salt + Water Acid + Water = Base + Water = Electrolytic Water Solution since the ions are still disassociated.
What is electrolytic battery?
An electrolytic battery is a type of secondary battery that stores electrical energy through an electrochemical process. It contains an electrolyte solution that allows for the movement of ions between the battery's electrodes during charging and discharging cycles. Examples of electrolytic batteries include lithium-ion batteries and lead-acid batteries.
How is mercury refined by nitric acid?
think so by electrolytic refining
Is there citric acid in Gatorade?
Yes, Gatorade contains citric acid as a flavoring agent to enhance its taste. Citric acid is commonly used in beverages to add a tartness that balances sweetness.
What is the difference between electrolytic reduction and electrolytic refining under these heads a. electrodes b. electrolytes c. reaction at positive and negative electrodes?
The difference between electrolytic refining and electrolytic reduction is as follows: a. In electrolytic reduction graphite electrodes are used which are of same size. in electrolytic refining the anode is made of the impure metal which is to be purified and the cathode is made from that pure metal. initially the cathode is thick and the anode is very thin. b. the electrolyte used in electrolytic refining is the metal sulphate with acid (acid id added to increase the conductivity) which is aqueous in nature. whereas in electrolytic reduction molten chloride form of the solution is used. c. The impure metal at the anode displaces the metal from the aqueous solution and the these ions go to the cathode and attach to the cathode as they are now pure. basically the impure metal at the anode directly doesn't go to the cathode, its a indirect process. as the reaction goes on, the size of the anode reduces and finally disappears and the cathode becomes thick as all the impure metal is converted into pure metal. this happens in electrolytic refining. whereas in electrolytic reduction the metal from the molten solution deposits on the cathode and chlorine gas is evolved at the anode. general differences: a. in electrolytic reduction no anode mud is formed and in electrolytic refining anode mud is formed from the impurities oh the impure metal. b. electrolytic reduction is done to extract metals of high reactivity from their ores. electrlolytic refining is done to purify (refine) metals from their impure form.
Is HI a weak electrolytes?
Yes, HI (hydroiodic acid) is a strong electrolyte because it completely ionizes into H+ and I- ions in solution. This means it conducts electricity well.
Can you mix Gatorade and cough syrup to make sulphuric acid?
No
If you have a solution of a strong acid and a solution of a week acid of equal concentration and volume then the?
pH of the strong acid solution will be lower than the pH of the weak acid solution due to the stronger dissociation of the strong acid.
Which soluctions exhibit high electrolytic behavior?
Mostly ionic solutions are the ones which are used as electrolytes. It is because of the concentration of the ions produced in the solution. So, they act as suitable electrolytes.
