Study Notes
Strong Electrolytes
- Dissociate completely into ions when dissolved in water
- Conduct electricity efficiently
Weak Electrolytes
- Partially dissociate into ions when dissolved in water
- Conduct electricity poorly
Nonelectrolytes
- Do not dissociate into ions when dissolved in water
- Do not conduct electricity
Hydrochloric Acid
- Strong electrolyte
Strong vs Weak Electrolytes
- Strong electrolytes have a higher degree of ionization than weak electrolytes
- Strong electrolytes produce more ions in solution, leading to higher electrical conductivity
Strong Electrolytes
- Strong electrolytes dissociate completely into ions when dissolved in water, resulting in a high conductivity of the solution.
Weak Electrolytes
- They only partially dissociate into ions in solution, resulting in a lower conductivity.
Nonelectrolytes
- These compounds do not dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, meaning they do not conduct electricity.
Hydrochloric Acid
- It's a strong acid, which means it is a strong electrolyte and dissociates completely in solution, forming hydrogen and chloride ions.
Strong Electrolytes vs. Weak Electrolytes
- Strong electrolytes dissociate completely into ions in solution, while weak electrolytes only partially dissociate.
Acid-Carbonate Reaction
- When an acid reacts with a carbonate, it produces carbon dioxide gas, water, and a salt.
Neutralization Reaction
- This occurs when an acid reacts with a base, and the products are salt and water.
Gas-Forming Neutralization Reaction Products
- The reaction between sulfuric acid and sodium bicarbonate produces sodium sulfate, water, and carbon dioxide gas.
Gas-Forming Reaction with Sulfite Compound
- An example of this type of reaction is between hydrochloric acid and sodium sulfite, producing sodium chloride, water, and sulfur dioxide gas.
Acid-Base Neutralization Reaction
- These reactions always result in the formation of a salt and water, where the salt is formed from the cation of the base and the anion of the acid.
