Chapter 14, Problem 17CE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether a conductivity apparatus that contain reaction mixture of two strong electrolytes ${\text{AgNO}}_{\text{3}}\left(aq\right)$ and ${\text{AlCl}}_{\text{3}}\left(aq\right)$ would glow brightly or dimly is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Solutions of substances in which the ions are the conducting species are known as electrolytes. Strong electrolytes produce a large number of ions in the solution and are good conductors of electricity. Weak electrolytes produce less number of ions in the solution and are bad conductors of electricity.
