Ch3COOH is an electrolyte for sure. So option “C” is the correct answer for this question. Electrolyte is actually a compound that dissolves easily in water and creates a solution that becomes a good conductor of electricity. The reason why the solution becomes a good conductor of electricity is due to the presence of free ions. There can be both strong and weak electrolytes. The compounds that release small number of free ions on dissolving in water are called weak electrolytes and those that release large number of ions are strong electrolytes.

The Correct answer is CH3COOH

The explanation:

when the electrolyte is: A substance that dissociates into ions in solution and acquires the capacity to conduct electricity.

- Electrolyte is actually a compound that dissolves easily in water and creates a solution that becomes a good conductor of electricity.

- The existence of free ions is the reason why the solution becomes a good conductor of electricity.

-The compounds that release small number of free ions on dissolving in water are called weak electrolytes

-and those that release large number of ions are strong electrolyte.

acetic acid partially dissociates in water to form two ions, H+ and CH3COO- , therefore making it a weak electrolyte

Jody is trying to find out how much salt will dissolve in 200 mL of water. She adds salt to the beaker of water, but the salt se

Mekhanik [1.2K]

There are three things you can do to dissolve the salt in water:

1) Stir the solution - you increase the rate at which water molecules will come in contact with the salt crystals

2) Grind the salt - the surface area of the salt will increase thus the contact area between ionic lattice of the crystal that can interact with water, is bigger

3) Increase the temperature - this will increase even more the rate of the solvation by increasing the kinetic energy of the particles
