Chapter 9, Problem 9.1TC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Three compounds, $P$, $G$, and $N$ are to be classified as a strong electrolyte, weak electrolyte, or nonelectrolyte. The significance of the conductivities of the solutions of $P$, $G$, and $N$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Solutions of substances in which the ions are the conducting species are called electrolytes. The ionization depends on the nature of the substance. Some substances are more ionized in solution and conduct more electricity. Other substances are ionized to a lesser extent and conduct less electricity. The ability of a solution to conduct electricity depends on the number of ions present in the solution.
