Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The diagram a has to be labeled as strong electrolyte, weak electrolyte or nonelectrolyte.
Concept Introduction:
A substance that conducts electricity in water is called as electrolyte and substance that does not conduct electricity in water is called as nonelectrolyte.
Strong electrolyte: An electrolyte that completely dissociates to form ions, when it dissolves in water is called as strong electrolyte.
Weak electrolyte: An electrolyte in which molecules (a small fraction) forms ions, when dissolves in water to give largely uncharged molecules is called as weak electrolyte.
(b)
Interpretation:
The diagram b has to be labeled as strong electrolyte, weak electrolyte or nonelectrolyte.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).

- How do we define the mass percent composition of a solution? Give an example of a solution, and explain the relative amounts of solute and solvent present in the solution in terms of the mass percent composition.arrow_forwardConsider this question: What mass of a concentrated solution of nitric acid (68.0% HNO3 by mass) is needed to prepare 400.0 g of a 10.0% solution of HNO3 by mass? (a) Outline the steps necessary to answer the question. (b) Answer the question.arrow_forwardA throat spray is 1.40% by mass phenol, C6H5OH, in water. If the solution has a density of 0.9956 g/mL, calculate the molarity of the solution.arrow_forward
