what is the term for a solution that is a strong conductor of electricity?
A) strong electrolyte
B) weak electrolyte
C) none elec
D) aqueous elec
E) none of the above
Solution
A strong electrolyte is a solute that completely, or almost completely, ionizes or dissociates in a solution. These ions are good conductors of electric current in the solution.
Originally, a \"strong electrolyte\" was defined as a chemical that, when in aqueous solution, is a good conductor of electricity. With greater understanding of the properties of ions in solution its definition was replaced by the present one.
A concentrated solution of this strong electrolyte has a lower vapour pressure than that of pure water at the same temperature. strong acids, bases, and soluble ionic salts that are not weak acids or weak bases are strong electrolytes.
