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.
