Answer 1

Strong acids, strong bases, or ionic compounds that readily dissolve in water (remember solubility rules)

Question 2

Answer 2

Nope. Arrow only goes one way

Question 3

What make weak electrolytes?

Answer 3

Weak acids, weak bases, or ionic compounds that do NOT readily dissolve in water

Question 4

Do weak electrolyte form equilibrium reactions (two arrows)?

Answer 4

Yes
