The compound sodium carbonate is a strong electrolyte because it completely dissociates when placed in water into its component ions. The equation of the reaction can be expressed as:

Na_2CO_3_{(s)} ---> 2 Na^+_{(aq)} + CO_3^{(2+)}_{(aq)}

The dissociation leads to the formation of sodium and carbonate ions with the latter held together by its internal covalent bond.

This is unlike weak electrolytes that do not dissociate completely in water or aqueous solutions. Only a small fraction of the solute exists as ions in the solution.

To what volume must 175 L of air at 1.0 atm be compressed to yield a pressure of 5.2 atm? (You can assume constant temperature.
Elena L [17]
Using the ideal gas law, for a constant temperature, pV = constant (also known as Boyle's Law)
(1 atm)(175 L) = (5.2 atm)(V) = constant
V = 33.7 L
