Identify from following a weak electrolyte based on their dissociation nature in aqueous medium.
Identify from following a weak electrolyte based on their dissociation nature in aqueous medium.
A. NH _3
Strong electrolytes dissociate completely in an aqueous solution. NaOH and KOH are strong bases and dissociate completely into their respective ions. HI is a strong acid and also dissociates completely into ions. NH _3 is a weak base and dissociates only partially in an aqueous solution to form NH _4^+ and OH ^- ions. Thus, NH _3 is a weak electrolyte. Answer: NH _3
