ELECTROLYSIS-QN02


Distinguish between

i) Electrolytes and non โ€“ electrolytes
ii) Strong and weak electrolytes
iii) Caution and anions


  • Soln:


    i) Electrolytes are compounds which when matter or in solution do conduct electronic current. WHILE. Non โ€“ electrolytes do not conduct electric current either in solution or molten state. Example of electrolytes sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Example, non-electrolyte: Sugar.

    ii) Strong electrolyte is the one in which ionization is complete in solution Example: salts potassium and sodium hydroxides are completely ionized in the aqueous state. While weak electrolyte is th2 on2 whose ionization in solution containing mainly un โ€“ ionized molecules. Example Ammonia solution
    NH3(g) + H2O(i) ⇌NH4+(aq) + OH -(aq)

    iii) Cation are positively charged ion example Na+ , Mg2+, Cu2+. While Anions are negatively charged ion Example; Cl-, f- .
