    Strong, Weak, or Non-Electrolyte?

    Uploaded by

    Sarah Peterson
    1. Ionic compounds and molecular compounds that mostly dissociate into ions when dissolved in water are strong electrolytes. 2. Molecular compounds can be non-electrolytes if they dissolve without forming ions, weak electrolytes if they dissolve with some ion formation, or strong electrolytes if they mostly dissolve into ions. 3. Strong acids and bases are strong electrolytes since they nearly completely dissociate into ions in water.

    Strong, Weak, or Non-Electrolyte?

    For the purposes of this course, use these criteria to determine if a substance is a strong,
    weak, or non-electrolyte when dissolved in water (aqueous solution):
    1. All ionic compounds are strong electrolytes, because they mostly break up into ions as
    they dissolve in water. Even insoluble ionic compounds (e.g., AgCl, PbSO
    4
    , CaCO
    3
    ) are
    strong electrolytes, because the small amounts that do dissolve in water do so principally
    as ions; i.e., there is virtually no undissociated form of the compound in solution.
    2. Molecular compounds may be non-electrolytes, weak electrolytes, or strong electrolytes,
    depending on whether they dissolve without ion formation, a little ion formation, or
    mostly ion formation, respectively. Examples:
    Molecular Compound Electrolyte Type Species in Solution
    sucrose (table sugar) non-electrolyte molecules only
    acetic acid (HC
    2
    H
    3
    O
    2
    = HOAc) weak electrolyte molecules and some ions
    hydrogen chloride (HCl) strong electrolyte ions only
    3. Strong acids and strong bases are strong electrolytes [e.g., HCl(aq), H
    2
    SO
    4
    (aq), HClO
    4
    (aq);
    NaOH(aq)]. There are virtually no molecules of a strong acid or base in solution, only ions.
    Know the strong acids and bases on the accompanying hand-out "Strong and Weak Acids
    and Bases". Assume that any other acid or base you encounter in this course is weak, unless
    told to the contrary. [Note: Mg(OH)
    2
    , an insoluble compound, is a strong base because it is an
    ionic compound and therefore a strong electrolyte.]
