Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The classification of the compound as a strong electrolyte, a weak electrolyte, or a nonelectrolyte is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
An electrolyte is an ionic compound which conducts electricity by dissociating into negatively and positively charged ions in a solution. They are held in fixed positions.
(b)
Interpretation:
The major species in solution is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
An electrolyte is an ionic compound which conducts electricity by dissociating into negatively and positively charged ions in a solution. They are held in fixed positions. Electrolysis is a process in which electric current is generated due to the movement of ions in solution. A strong electrolyte is a substance which is a good conductor of electricity in the solution, weak electrolyte is a poor conductor of electricity, and nonelectrolyte does not conduct electricity.
(c)
Interpretation:
The minor species in the solution is to be identified.
