Question

From iodine crystal nacl and dcm which solutes are electrolytes and which are non electrolytes

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

An electrolyte is any salt or ionizable molecule that, when dissolved in solution, will give that solution the ability to conduct electricity. This is because when a salt dissolves, its dissociated ions can move freely in solution, allowing a charge to flow.

Electrolyte solutions are normally formed when a salt is placed into a solvent such as water. For example, when table salt, NaCl, is placed in water, the salt (a solid) dissolves into its component ions, according to the dissociation reaction:

NaCl(s) → Na+(aq) + Cl−(aq)

It is also possible for substances to react with water to yield ions in solution. For example, carbon dioxide gas, CO2, will dissolve in water to produce a solution that contains hydrogen ions, carbonate, and hydrogen carbonate ions:

2 CO2(g)+ 2 H2O(l) → 3 H+(aq) + CO32-(aq) + HCO3–(aq)

The resulting solution will conduct electricity because it contains ions. It is important to keep in mind, however, that CO2 is not an electrolyte, because CO2 itself does not dissociate into ions. Only compounds that dissociate into their component ions in solution qualify as electrolytes.
