Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The given diagrams should be labeled as either strong, weak or non-electrolyte.
Concept introduction:
An electrolyte may be defined as the ionic compound that on dissolution in polar solvents dissociates to produces cationic and anionic species. There are three kinds of electrolyte namely strong electrolyte, weak electrolyte, and non-electrolyte.
The strong electrolytes are those which on dissolution dissociates completely into its constituent ions. However, weak electrolytes are partially dissociated. For example, sodium chloride and sulphuric acids are regarded as strong electrolytes while acetic acid is regarded as a weak electrolyte.
Benzene and urea that don not dissociate at all and are termed as non - electrolytes.

- Ammonium chloride is a strong electrolyte. Draw a molecular-level picture of this substance after it dissolves in water.arrow_forwardThe following figures represent species before and after they are dissolved in water. Classify each species as weak electrolyte, strong electrolyte, or nonelectrolyte. You may assume that species that dissociate during solution break up as ions.arrow_forwardDistinguish between the solute and solvent in each of the following solutions: a saltwater [NaCl(aq)]; b sterling silver (92.5%Ag,7.5%Cu); c air about 80%N2,20%O2. On what do you base your distinctions? Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5 silver and 7.5 another metal, usually copper.arrow_forward
- A student weighs out a 4.80-g sample of aluminum bromide, transfers it to a 100-mL volumetric flask, adds enough water to dissolve it, and then adds water to the 100-mL mark. What is the molarity of aluminum bromide in the resulting solution?arrow_forwardA solution is formed by mixing 1 gal ethanol with 10 gal gasoline. Identify the solvent and the solute.arrow_forwardssume a highly magnified view of a solution of HCI that allows you to “see” the HCl. Draw this magnified view. If you dropped in a piece of magnesium, the magnesium would disappear, and hydrogen gas would he released. Represent this change using symbols for the elements, and write the balanced equation.arrow_forward
- A solution is defined as a homogeneous mixture. Is a small sample of air a solution? Is the atmosphere a solution?arrow_forwardQuestions 5 through 12: Write the major species in the water solution of each substance given. All ionic compounds given are soluble. HNO3, HBrarrow_forwardou have a solution of table sail in water. What happens to the salt concentration (increases, decreases, or stays the same) as the solution boils? Draw pictures to explain your answer.arrow_forward
- Calcium carbonate, CaCO3, can be obtained in a very pure state. Standard solutions of calcium ion are usually prepared by dissolving calcium carbonate in acid. What mass of CaCO3 should be taken to prepare 500. mL of 0.0200 M calcium ion solution?arrow_forwardhen the ionic solute K3PO4is dissolved in water, what can you say about the number of potassium ions (K+)present in the solution compared with the number of phosphate ions (PO43)in the solution?arrow_forwardTwo liters of a 1.5 M solution of sodium hydroxide are needed for a laboratory experiment. A stock solution of 5.0 M NaOH is available. How is the desired solution prepared?arrow_forward
