Identify each of the following substances as strong electrolyte, weak electrolyte, or nonelectrolyte:

A) Ba(NO3)2,
B) Ne,
C) NH3,
D) NaOH,

Respuesta :

Answer :  

Strong electrolyte substance are, (A) and (D)

Weak electrolyte substance is, (C)

Non-electrolyte substance is, (B)

Explanation :

Strong electrolyte : It is defined as the species that can completely dissociates into ions in its aqueous solution.

Weak electrolyte : It is defined as the species that is partially dissociates into ions in its aqueous solution.

Non-electrolyte : It is defined as the species that does not dissociates into ions in its aqueous solution.

As we are given the following reactions. Now we have to determine the solute as a strong electrolyte, a weak electrolyte, or a non-electrolyte.

(A) [tex]Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Ba^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)[/tex]

This compound is an ionic which contains metal cation and non-metal anion. The complete dissociation into ions and only onside arrow represent the completely dissociated. So, it is a strong electrolyte.

(B) Ne

This is a monoatomic atom that has no charge that means, there is no dissociation into ions. So, it is a non-electrolyte.

(C) [tex]NH_3[/tex]

This is a molecular compound which do not contain metal cation and not an acid because it does not contain ionizable hydrogen atom. It is a base and it is a weak-electrolyte.

(D) [tex]NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Na^{+}(aq)+OH^-(aq)[/tex]

This compound is an ionic which contains metal cation and non-metal anion. The complete dissociation into ions and only onside arrow represent the completely dissociated. So, it is a strong electrolyte.
