Strong and Weak Electrolytes • Pure water does not conduct electricity because of a lack of free moving ions.
Strong and Weak Electrolytes • An electrolyte is a substance that, when dissolved in water, produces free moving ions that allows the solution to conduct electricity. Add electrolyte

Strong and Weak Electrolytes • These are the strong electrolytes! • Strong acids: HI, HBr, HCl, HNO3, and H2SO4 • Strong bases: LiOH, NaOH, KOH, RbOH, CsOH • Soluble salts: are found using Reference Table F NaCl, MgSO4, K2Cr2O7, NH4NO3, etc!
Strong and Weak Electrolytes • These are the weak electrolytes! • Weak acids: are all acids that are not strong • Weak bases: are all bases that are not strong • Insoluble salts: are found using Reference Table F
