Question

Each of the following reactions shows a solute dissolved in water. Classify each solute as a strong electrolyte, a weak electrolyte, or a nonelectrolyte?

M(l)→M(aq)
AC(aq)⇌A+(aq)+C−(aq)
BD(s)→B+(aq)+D−(aq)
PR(aq)→P+(aq)+R−(aq)
N(s)→N(aq)

Answer 1

it would be 73538^2 cm

Answer 2

Strong electrolyte solutes are BD and PR.

Weak electrolyte solute is AC.

Non-electrolyte solutes are M and N.

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.

(1)
`M(l)\rightarrow M(aq)`

In this reaction, there is no dissociation into ions. So, It is a non-electrolyte.

(2)
`AC(aq)\rightleftharpoons A^+(aq)+C^-(aq)`

In this reaction, the partial dissociation into ions and equilibrium arrow represent the incomplete dissociation. So, it is a weak electrolyte.

(3)
`PR(s)\rightarrow P^+(aq)+R^-(aq)`

In this reaction, the complete dissociation into ions and only onside arrow represent the completely dissociated. So, it is a strong electrolyte.

(4)
`BD(aq)\rightarrow B^+(aq)+D^-(aq)`

In this reaction, the complete dissociation into ions and only onside arrow represent the completely dissociated. So, it is a strong electrolyte.

(5)
`N(s)\rightarrow N(aq)`

In this reaction, there is no dissociation into ions. So, It is a non-electrolyte.
