Categorizing Electrolytes and Nonelectrolytes

If an electrical current can run through a solution, it is said to contain

• Water

• nonelectrolytes

• electricity

• electrolytes

An example of a nonelectrolyte is

• sugar water

• salt water

• sodium chloride

• Hydrochloric Acid

Which solution would be least likely to carry an electric current?

• NaCl

• HCl

• C₆H₁₂O₆

• KClO₃

Which of the following is a non-electrolyte?

• CaO

• NaOH

• BaCl₂

• Br₂

Solutions in which electric currents cannot run through are said to be

• ionic compound dissolved in water

• electrolytes

• nonelectrolytes

• conductors

A solute that does not form ions or conduct electricity in solution.

• nonelectrolyte
• weak electrolyte
• strong electrolyte
• partial electrolyte

A strong electrolyte

• completely breaks into its ions in water.

• partly breaks into its ions in water.

• doesn't break into its ions in water.

• can't dissolve in water.
