QQuestion
Mention two classes of electrolytes. How can they be differentiated?
✓Answer
Two Classes of Electrolytes:
- Strong Electrolytes: Completely dissociate into ions in solution (e.g., sodium chloride, hydrochloric acid).
- Weak Electrolytes: Partially dissociate into ions in solution (e.g., acetic acid, ammonium hydroxide).
Differentiation:
- Strong Electrolytes conduct electricity well due to full ionization.
- Weak Electrolytes conduct electricity poorly because they only partially ionize
