Chapter 8, Problem 8.14PP

a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

Sodium sulfate, ${\text{Na}}_{\text{2}}{\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}\left(s\right)$, a strong electrolyte will fully dissociate, partially dissociate, or not dissociate when dissolved in solution.

Introduction:

Electrolytes are the solutes that produce ions in solution. All the substance that dissolves in water is categorized into strong electrolytes, nonelectrolyte and weak electrolyte on the basis of their ability to conduct electricity.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

Ethyl alcohol, ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{OH}\left(l\right)$, a nonelectrolyte will fully dissociate, partially dissociate, or not dissociate when dissolved in solution.

Introduction:

Electrolytes are the solutes that produce ions in solution. All the substance that dissolves in water is categorized into strong electrolytes, nonelectrolyte and weak electrolyte on the basis of their ability to conduct electricity.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

Hypochlorous acid, $\text{HCIO}\left(aq\right)$, a weak electrolyte will fully dissociate, partially dissociate, or not dissociate when dissolved in solution.
