Question

Identify each of the following compounds as: (a) a nonelectrolyte: lactose (c12h22o11) potassium chloride (kcl) lactic acid (hc3h5o3) ethanol (c3h7oh) dimethylamine [(ch3)2nh] sodium hydroxide (naoh)

Answer 1

Nonelectrolytes are compounds that do not tend to get ionize in all solution. As a result, solutions which contains nonelectrolytes will not conduct electricity.

Ionic compounds dissolve in water and break into the constituent ions through the process called ionization. Now These electrolyte solutions can either be acids, or bases, or salts.

If  the process of ionization produces a large no. of ions in the solution, it is a strong electrolyte. On the other hand, if it produces only a few ions, the solution is a weak electrolyte,

Potassium chloride (KCL) is a strong electrolyte,

Lactic acid (HC3H503) is a weak electrolyte,

Whereas, Ethanol (C3H7OH) is a non electrolyte,

Dimethylamine (CH3)2NH is a weak electrolyte,

Sodium hydroxide(NaOH) is a strong electrolyte.
