Front

What is an electrolyte?

Back

An electrolyte is a substance that dissociates into ions when dissolved in water, allowing it to conduct electricity.

Front

Which of the following is an example of a nonelectrolyte?

Back

Sugar water is an example of a nonelectrolyte.

Front

What is the charge on cations?

Back

Cations have a positive charge.

Front

What is the charge on anions?

Back

Anions have a negative charge.

Front

What is current in an electrical circuit?

Back

Current is the flow of electric charge, typically measured in amperes, and consists of moving electrons.

Front

Why must electrolytes be in liquid form?

Back

Electrolytes must be in liquid form so that ions can move freely and conduct electricity.

Front

What is the difference between strong and weak electrolytes?

Back

Strong electrolytes completely dissociate into ions in solution, while weak electrolytes partially dissociate.

Front

Give an example of a strong electrolyte.

Back

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an example of a strong electrolyte.

Front

Give an example of a weak electrolyte.

Back

Acetic acid (CH₃COOH) is an example of a weak electrolyte.

Front

What is the role of ions in electrochemistry?

Back

Ions are charged particles that carry electric current in electrochemical cells.
