You have some bottles of chemicals whose labels have fallen off: HC,H,0, (aq), AICI, (aq), and C,H,,0, (aq). You are going identify them by measuring the conductivity. First, you measure the conductivity of some known substances to find the electrolyte ranges for your conductivity probe: hydrocyanic acid (HCN) 126 uS/cm 5643 uS/cm 63 uS/cm 0.01 M NaCl ethanol (C,H,0) phosphoric acid (H,PO,) 247 pS/cm From these measurements, you determine that nonelectrolyte conductivities range from 0 to uS/cm weak electrolyte conductivities range from to us/cm strong electrolyte conductivities are US/cm and higher. You take a sample from one of the bottles and it measures 76 pS/cm.

Question
You have some bottles of chemicals whose labels have fallen off: HC,H,0, (aq), AICI, (aq), and C,H,,0, (aq). You are going to
identify them by measuring the conductivity.
First, you measure the conductivity of some known substances to find the electrolyte ranges for your conductivity probe:
hydrocyanic acid (HCN) 126 µS/cm
0.01 M Nacl
ethanol (C,H,0)
phosphoric acid (H,PO,) 247 µS/cm
From these measurements, you determine that
ed
00
ion
5643 µS/cm
63 μS/cm
nonelectrolyte conductivities range from 0 to
uS/cm
weak electrolyte conductivities range from
to
uS/cm
strong electrolyte conductivities are
uS/cm and higher.
You take a sample from one of the bottles and it measures 76 uS/cm.
This bottle should be labeled m

Expert Solution
Step 1

HCN, hydrocyanic acid comes under weak electrolyte categoryNaCl is strong electrolyteEthanol, C2H5OH is non electrolytePhosphoric acid, H3PO4 is weak electrolyte

Based on this classification, following conclusions can be made and approximate range can be find out for each type of electrolyte-
