Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
KCl should be classified as strong, weak or non-electrolyte.
Concept Introduction:
Conductivity of electricity is a physical property which is typical of species when dissolved in solution, typically, in an aqueous solution.
If the material dissolves properly in water, and conduces electricity, then this is said to be a strong electrolyte.
A material which dissolves and only conduces a small amount, will be considered a weak electrolyte.
A material which will not conduct electricity at all is considered a nonelectrolyte.
(b)
