Chemistry · Ionic equilibrium: Weak and strong electrolytes, ionization of electrolytes
Which one of the following is a strong electrolyte?
Which one of the following is a strong electrolyte?
- A. \( C H_{3} \) СООН
- B. \( H C O O H \)
- C. \( H_{2} C O_{3} \)
- D. \( N a O H \)
Step-by-step solution
Strong electrolytes completely dissociate into ions in aqueous solution. NaOH (sodium hydroxide) is a strong base that fully dissociates, making it a strong electrolyte. The other options are weak acids (CH3COOH, HCOOH, H2CO3) that only partially ionize, thus they are weak electrolytes.
