Electrolyte Synthesis Lab Report

Satisfactory Essays

Copper is the least reactive metal in the experiments because it did not react with any solution. Report: If a solute produces ions when dissolved, it is called an electrolyte because the resulting ions in solution will allow the solution to conduct electricity. Strong Electrolyte Definition: A strong electrolyte is an electrolyte that completely dissociates in solution. The solution will contain only ions and no molecules of the electrolyte. Strong electrolytes are good conductors of electricity. Weak electrolytes only partially break into ions in water. Weak electrolytes include weak acids, weak bases, and a variety of other compounds. Most compounds that contain nitrogen are weak electrolytes. Nonelectrolytes do not break into ions in water.
