Question

Which of the following is an example of an electrolytic solution? Select all that apply.

A. sea water

B. fresh water

C. carbonic acid

D. salt (NaCl)

Answer 1

C carbonic acid and D salt are the example of electrolytic solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbonic acid is an weak electrolyte because in aqueous solution carbonic acid undergo partial hydrolysis to generate H+ and HCO3- ions.

H2CO3 ⇄ H+ + OH-

NaCl is a strong electrolyte because in aqueous solution NaCl undergo hydrolysis to generate Na+ and Cl- ions.

NaCl ⇄ Na+ and Cl-
