Be sure to answer all parts. Identify each of the following compounds as: (a) a nonelectrolyte: ethanolamine (C2H5ONH2) potassium fluoride (KF) ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) isopropanol (C3H7OH) barium hydroxide [Ba(OH)2] lactose (C12H22O11) (b) a weak electrolyte: ethanolamine (C2H5ONH2) potassium fluoride (KF) ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) isopropanol (C3H7OH) barium hydroxide [Ba(OH)2] lactose (C12H22O11) (c) a strong electrolyte: ethanolamine (C2H5ONH2) potassium fluoride (KF) ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) isopropanol (C3H7OH) barium hydroxide [Ba(OH)2] lactose (C12H22O11)
Nonelectrolyte are neither an acid nor base. They remain intact in molecular form in solution and doesn't conduct electricity in solution. Lactose and isopropanol are examples.
Weak electrolytes are weak acid or base. They partially dissociate in solution. Example : ethanolamine which is a weak base.
Strong electrolytes are strong acid or base. They dissociate completely in solution and conduct electricity. Examples : KF, ammonium nitrate, barium hydroxide.
