Classify each of these soluble solutes as a strong electrolyte, a weak electrolyte, or a nonelectrolyte. SolutesFormula
Sulfuric acid H2SO4
Potassium hydroxide KOH
Hydrofluoric acid HF
Propyl amine CH3CH2CH2NH2
Potassium chloride KCl
Ethanol C2H5OH
Sucrose C12H22O11
An electrolyte is a substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in a polar solvent, such as water. The dissolved electrolyte separates into cations and anions, which disperse uniformly through the solvent.
A nonelectrolyte does not dissociate at all in solution and therefore does not produce any ions. Nonelectrolytes are typically polar covalent substances that do dissolve in water as molecules instead of ions.
Strong Electrolytes : H2SO4, KOH,KCl
weak electrolytes : HF, CH3CH2CH2NH2
Non electrolytes : C12H22O11, C2H5OH
