why is stronge electrolyte KOH
Elctrolyte:
Ionic species which dissociates into ions when it is dissolved in the solution. When ions formed in the solution are responsible for the conduction of current of electricity.
Generally salts and strong bases can dissociates fully in the solution, so they can form more ions and they come under strong electrolyte.
We know KOH is strong base.
Dissociation of KOH
KOH(aq) --- > K+(aq) + OH-(aq)
Potassium and hydroxide ions formed are responsible strongly for the current and so the KOH is strong electrolyte.
