Experiment 4
Electrolytes and Non-electrolytes

1. Classify the solutions as strong, weak, or non-electrolyte.

Solutions Classification
Distilled Water Non-electrolyte
1.00 M HCL Strong
1.00 M CH3COOH Weak
1.00 M NaOH Strong
1.00 M NH3 Weak
1.00 M NaCl Strong
1.00 M CH3COONa Strong
Sucrose Non-electrolyte
2.00 M NH3 + 2.00 M HCL Strong
2.00 M NH3 + 2.00 M CH3COOH Strong
Glacial CH3COOH Non-electrolyte
Glacial CH3COOH 1st dilution Weak
Glacial CH3COOH 2nd dilution Strong
Glacial CH3COOH 3rd dilution Strong
Glacial CH3COOH 4th dilution Strong

2. Compare the degree of ionization and the acid strength of HCL and CH 3COOH. Likewise compare
the degree of ionization and basic strength of NaOH and NH 3.
The degree of ionization of HCl is stronger than that of CH 3COOH because HCl has a stronger
acid strength than CH3COOH.
NaOH also has a greater degree of ionization than NH 3 which means that NaOH is a stronger
base compared to NH3.
3. Explain clearly with the aid of equations why a solution formed by mixing aqueous NH 3 and
CH3COOH is a strong electrolyte.
NH3 + CH3COOH  NH4+ + CH3COO-
Ammonium acetate is a strong electrolyte because it completely dissociates in the solution.
4. Account for the changes in the conductance of glacial CH 3COOH.
The conductance became stronger as glacial CH 3COOH became more diluted.
