Potassium iodide (KI) is considered a strong electrolyte. When dissolved in water, it completely dissociates into potassium ions (K⁺) and iodide ions (I⁻), allowing it to conduct electricity efficiently. This characteristic is typical of strong electrolytes, which fully ionize in solution.
Potassium nitrate is a strong electrolyte.
weak electrolyte
Amonia is actually a weak base. Therefore it is a weak electrolyte.
Mercury(I) acetate is a weak electrolyte.
Potassium ethanoate is not a base. It is a salt formed by the reaction between potassium hydroxide (a strong base) and acetic acid (a weak acid). Potassium ethanoate is actually a weak electrolyte that dissociates in water to produce potassium ions and ethanoate ions.
No, KI is a strong electrolyte. All soluble salts are strong electrolytes, and KI is a salt since it is an ionic compound, but not an acid or a base.
Potassium nitrate is a strong electrolyte.
Potassium dichromate is a strong electrolyte. It dissociates completely in water, generating potassium and dichromate ions.
Potassium hydroxide is a strong electrolyte.
No, K2SO4 (potassium sulfate) is a strong electrolyte. When dissolved in water, it dissociates completely into ions, leading to a high conductivity solution.
KI or potassium iodide will be basic in solution because it is the product of KOH (a strong base) and HI (a weak acid.)
Calcium nitrate is a strong electrolyte. Ca(NO3)2 completely dissociates in an aqueous solution to form Ca2+ cations and NO3- anions; classifying it as a strong electrolyte. The higher the ion concentration in a solution, the higher the conductivity of the solution, and thus, the stronger the electrolyte (strong electrolyte = any solution with a conductivity above 1.00 mS).
When in doubt, look at the reactants that produce the substance. Potassium nitrate, KNO3, is produced in solution by mixing potassium hydroxide, KOH, and nitric acid, HNO3, which are both strong electrolytes, and so is potassium nitrate. Two strong electrolytes will produce a strong electrolyte, a weak and a strong electrolyte will produce a weak electrolyte, and two weak electrolytes will produce a weak electrolyte.
weak electrolyte
Amonia is actually a weak base. Therefore it is a weak electrolyte.
Yes, phosphoric acid is a weak acid and a weak electrolyte. It partially dissociates in water to release hydrogen ions.
Mercury(I) acetate is a weak electrolyte.
