Chapter 15, Problem 13RQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason behind non-conductance of electric current when HCl is taken in hexane than when it is taken in water has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

An electrolyte refers to an ionic compound that on solvation in polar protic solvents ionizes to yield cationic and anionic species. The free movement of such ionic species results in the conduction of electricity.

Three subcategories exist for electrolyte namely strong electrolyte weak electrolyte and non-electrolyte. The strong electrolytes on dissolution exhibit 100 % dissociation; The acids such as HCl , CH3COOH, H2SO4, HNO3, that have ability to furnish hydronium ions and bases such as NaOH, KOH  ionize fully to yield hydroxide ions are strong electrolytes.

 In contrast, the weak electrolytes are not 100 % dissociated, theses may include weak acids and bases such as carbonic acid, nitrous acid, boric acid, HClO, NH3.

The principle of “like dissolves like” holds true and suggests that ionic or polar substances are more soluble in similar polar solvent such as water.
