Which solution in Model 3 is a better conductor of electricity -‐ the strong acid or the
weak acid? Provide evidence from model 1. Provide an explanation for your answer.
Describe the relationship between the percent ionization of the acid and the
conductivity of the solution.
Describe the relationship between the conductivity of the solution and the strength
of the electrolyte (acid strength). Explain your answer.
NaCl when dissolved in water conducts electricity, but pure NaCl does not conduct
electricity. Explain why.
Match the types of solutions to the kinds of solute particles (ions, molecules) that
exist in those solutions
NH3
HCOOH
CH3NH2
HClO4
HOCl
NaOH
CH3OH
AgC2H3O2
NiSO4
C6H12O6
Learning objectives
1) Explain the terms electrolyte and non-electrolyte.
2) Explain the differences between strong electrolytes, weak electrolytes and
nonelectrolytes.
3) Predict whether a solute will be electrolyte (Strong or weak) or a nonelectrolyte.
