Chapter 15, Problem 8CE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The salt among $\text{NaCl}$, $\text{KCl}$, and $\text{AgCl}$ which produces the least number of chloride ions in separate $\text{1-L}$ beakers of water is to be identified.

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.
