Water<span> is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good </span>solvent. Water dissolves more than any other liquid, therefor we called it the Universal Solvent.

A solution is prepared by adding 1.43 mol of potassium chloride (kcl) to 889 g of water. The concentration of kcl is 1.61 molal.
mol of Kcl (potassium chloride)= 1.43
water = 889 g
the formula for calculating molality is:
molality = moles of solute/kilograms of solvent
1kg = 1000g so, 889g = 0.889kg

m = 1.43/0.889 = 1.61 molal

Compounds which on dissolving in water gets completely dissociates into its ions are known as strong electrolytes whereas compounds which on dissolving in water gets partially dissociates into its ions are known as weak electrolytes.

Substances which gives solution on dissolving in water and do not dissociates into ions also does not conduct electric current are known as nonelectrolyte.

Hydrochloric acid, $HCl$

On adding $HCl$ (strong acid) in water, it will completely dissociates into ions ( $H^{+}$ and $Cl^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

Sodium hydroxide, $NaOH$

On adding $NaOH$ (strong base) in water, it will completely dissociates into ions ( $Na^{+}$ and $OH^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

Formic acid, $HCOOH$

On adding $HCOOH$ (weak acid) in water, it will partially dissociates into ions ( $H^{+}$ and $HCOO^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a weak electrolyte.

Methyl amine, $CH_3NH_2$

On adding $CH_3NH_2$ (weak base) in water, it will partially dissociates into ions ( $CH_3NH_3^{+}$ and $OH^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a weak electrolyte.
