Chapter 4, Problem 4.13QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given compound X is a electrolyte or non electrolyte has to be found and if it is a electrolyte, then it is strong or weak has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Electrolyte:

• The electrolyte is a chemical compound, which produce ions when dissolved in water and this solution conduct electricity.
• The strength of the electrolyte increases by increasing of ions in solution.

Non electrolyte:

• The non electrolyte is a chemical compound which when dissolved in water forms a solution that does not conduct electricity because it does not dissociate to produce ions.

Weak electrolyte:

• The chemical compound that is not completely dissociated to produce ions in aqueous solution is called weak electrolyte.

Strong electrolyte:

• The chemical compound which completely dissociates to produce the ions in aqueous solution is called strong electrolyte.
