Interpretation:
The reason for the strong nature of the strong electrolyte is to be determined. Also, the property that makes it strong is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The electrolyte is the substance that produces ions when it is dissolved in a polar solvent. It breaks into positively and negatively charged ions that spread uniformly through the solvent. The electrolytic solution, as a whole, is electrically neutral. Sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium phosphate are some of the examples of electrolytes.
The electrolytes are divided into two major categories as follows:
1. Strong electrolytes: They dissociate completely into the respective ions. Sodium chloride and hydrochloric acid are strong electrolytes.
2. Weak electrolytes: They dissociate partially into the corresponding ions. Acetic acid and ammonia are weak electrolytes.

- Can I please get help with this.arrow_forwardDetermine if the following salt is neutral, acidic or basic. If acidic or basic, write the appropriate equilibrium equation for the acid or base that exists when the salt is dissolved in aqueous solution. If neutral, simply write only NR.
