(5 cards)
1
Q
Electrolyte
A
- chemicals conducting electricity when dissolved in water
2
Q
can both ionic compounds and molecular compounds that dissolve in water be electrolytes?
A
no, only ionic compounds can be electrolytes.
3
Q
Molecular compounds that dissolve are or are not electrolytes?
A
they are NOT, because they don’t conduct electricity
4
Q
how do I use the solubility table?
A
first, finding the anion in the top row, then see if the cation is in the very soluble row or slight soluble rows
5
Q
ex. is sodium chloride an electrolyte?
A
NaCl(aq) and yes
