Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
KCl should be classified as strong, weak or non-electrolyte.
Concept Introduction:
Conductivity of electricity is a physical property which is typical of species when dissolved in solution, typically, in an aqueous solution.
If the material dissolves properly in water, and conduces electricity, then this is said to be a strong electrolyte.
A material which dissolves and only conduces a small amount, will be considered a weak electrolyte.
A material which will not conduct electricity at all is considered a nonelectrolyte.
(b)

- 6-96 We know that a 0.89% saline (NaCI) solution is isotonic with blood. In a real-life emergency, you run out of physiological saline solution and have only KCI as a salt and distilled water. Would it be acceptable to make a 0.89% aqueous KCI solution and use it for intravenous infusion? Explain.arrow_forward6-83 (Chemical Connections 6C) The concentration of Ca2+ ion present in a blood sample is found to be 4.6 mEq/L.
