Chapter 9, Problem 1E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The difference between a weak electrolyte and a nonelectrolyte is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

An electrolyte is a chemical substance that conducts electricity when dissolved in water. An electrolyte dissociated into its corresponding ions and distributes uniformly in the solvent. It is classified as a weak electrolyte and strong electrolyte.

Answer to Problem 1E

The difference between a weak electrolyte and a nonelectrolyte is given below.

• Weak electrolyte dissociates partially into their corresponding ions while nonelectrolyte does not dissociate into their corresponding ions in water.

• Weak electrolyte conducts a very small amount of electricity while nonelectrolyte does not conduct electricity.

Explanation of Solution

A weak electrolyte is a substance that does not dissociate completely into their corresponding ions when dissolved in water. A weak electrolyte produces a small amount of free ions in the solution due to which it conducts electricity. Weak acids, weak bases and insoluble salts are the example of weak electrolyte.

Nonelectrolyte is the substance that does not dissociate into their corresponding ions when dissolved in water. It does not produce free ions due to which it does not conduct electricity. Glucose is an example of a nonelectrolyte.

Conclusion

The difference between a weak electrolyte and a nonelectrolyte is given below.

• Weak electrolyte dissociates partially into their corresponding ions while nonelectrolyte does not dissociate into their corresponding ions in water.

• Weak electrolyte conducts a very small amount of electricity while nonelectrolyte does not conduct electricity.
