we do we have to be careful not to confuse the extent to which an electrolyte dissolves with whether it's strong or weak?
|
because a substance may be extremely soluble but may not break down into ions
|
|
distinguish between a strong electrolyte and a weak electolyte
|
substances in solutions that are almost completely ions-strong electrolytes
weak electrolytes only ionize slightly |
|
what does a double arrow mean?
|
the reaction is significant in both directions. it also symbolizes the ionization of a weak electrolyte
|
|
what are nonelectrolytes?
|
molecular substances that dont form ions when they dissolve in water-they form nonconducting solutions
|
|
what does a single arrow mean?
|
represents the ionization of STRONG electrolytes(strong like popeye...) heehee
|
|
what is an electrolyte?
|
solutes that exist as ions in solution
|
|
what happens to an ionic solid in water?
|
the ionic solid dissociates into ions in the solution
|
|
what process happens to HCl(g) in water?
|
forms H+ and Cl- ions, it ionizes to form hydrochloric acid(aq)
|
|
what type of substance is a nonelectrolyte?
|
sugars
