Differentiate between strong and weak electrolyte.
Strong electrolytes
|
Weak Electrolytes
|
1) Electrolytes which are highly ionized in solution & hence have high degree of ionization are known as strong electrolytes.
|
1) Electrolytes which are weakly ionized in solution & hence have low degree of ionization are known as weak electrolytes.
|
2) They have high degree of ionization.
|
2) They have low degree of ionization.
|
3) They have high electrical conductivity.
|
3) They have low electrical conductivity.
|
4)e.g. Strong acids – HCl, HNO3 Strong bases – KOH, NaOH
|
4) e.g. Weak acids – CH3COOH, H2CO3, Weak base-NH4OH
