Question

Classify each of these soluble solutes as a strong electrolyte, a weak electrolyte, or a nonelectrolyte. drag each item to the appropriate bin.

Answer 1

Three of these are strong electrolytes: 
- HCl (Hydrochloric acid) 
- HNO3 (Nitric acid) 
- NaOH (Sodium hydroxide) 

Two of these are Weak electrolytes: 
- HF (Hydrogen fluoride) 
- HC2H3O2 (Acetic acid) 

And the other two are Non-electrolytes: 
- C6H12O6 (Glucose) 
- C2H5OH (Ethanol) 

Answer 2

• Strong electrolytes: HCl, NaOH, HNO₃
• Weak electrolytes: HF, HC₂H₃O₂
• Nonelectrolytes: C₂H₅OH, C₆H₁₂O₆

Further explanation

• Electrolyte solutions are substances that produce ions when dissolved in water and can conduct electricity.
• A strong electrolyte is a solution that has the strongest electrical conductivity because the solute is completely ionized when dissolved in water.
• A weak electrolyte is a solution with low electrical conductivity and partially ionized.
• Nonelectrolytes are solutions that cannot conduct electric current because the solute cannot produce ions.

One of the most significant properties of water is its ability to dissolve a wide variety of substances. Solutions in which water is properly the dissolving medium are called aqueous solutions. For electrolytes, water comes by the most primary solvent.  

• HCl = hydrochloric acid, a strong acid.
• HNO₃ = nitric acid, a strong acid .
• NaOH = sodium hydroxide, a strong base .
• HF = hydrofluoric acid, a weak acid .
• HC₂H₃O₂ or CH₃COOH = acetic acid, a weak acid .
• C₂H₅OH = ethanol, a nonelectrolyte .
• C₆H₁₂O₆ = glucose, a nonelectrolyte .

Notes:

• Some acids ionize completely in water, some partially. Thus acids are not all of equal strength in terms of the production of H⁺ ions in solution. If an acid ionizes completely, it is strong acid. If we pass hydrogen chloride gas through water, almost all the molecules ionize to give H⁺ and Cl⁻ ions. Hence, HCl is a strong acid.  
• If an acid ionizes partially, on the other hand, it is a weak acid. In the ionization of weak acids, some of the ions recombine and remain as molecules. HF is a weak acid. If we pass hydrogen fluoride gas through water, some of it will ionize to give H⁺ and F⁻. Most of the dissolved hydrogen fluoride will remain as HF molecules in water.
• Bases that completely ionize in water are called strong bases. The bases of alkali metals and some alkaline earth metals are strong, e.g., NaOH, KOH, and Ba(OH)₂. They conduct electricity well in an aqueous solution.
• Bases that dissociate in water slightly are weak bases, e.g., Mg(OH)₂ and NH₃. Water solutions of weak bases are poor conductors of electricity.
