Question

state one difference between strong electrolyte and weak electrolyte and give one example each

Answer 1

Strong electrolytes ionize completely (100%) while weak electrolytes ionize only partially (usually on the order of 1–10%).

Strong Electrolytes - strong acids HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, HClO3, HClO4, and H2SO4

strong bases NaOH, KOH, LiOH, Ba(OH)2, and Ca(OH)2

salts NaCl, KBr, MgCl2, etc.

Weak Electrolytes - weak acids HF, HC2H3O2 (acetic acid), H2CO3 (carbonic acid), H3PO4 (phosphoric acid), and many more
