Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between strong and weak electrolytes?

  • Strong electrolytes conduct electricity, weak electrolytes do not
  • Strong electrolytes increase conductivity with temperature, weak electrolytes decrease conductivity
  • Strong electrolytes completely dissociate in solution, weak electrolytes have less than 100% dissociation (correct)
  • Strong electrolytes are metals, weak electrolytes are semiconductors
  • How do metallic conductors and electrolytic conductors differ in conducting current?

  • Metallic conductors are semiconductors, while electrolytic conductors are metals
  • Metallic conductors increase conductivity with temperature, while electrolytic conductors don't
  • Metallic conductors have less conductivity than electrolytic conductors
  • Metallic conductors conduct current through the flow of electrons; electrolytic conductors do so through the flow of ions (correct)
  • In which conditions does the conductivity of metallic conductors decrease?

  • With decreasing temperature due to ion movement
  • With decreasing temperature due to electron loss
  • With increasing temperature due to increasing electron scattering (correct)
  • With increasing temperature due to ion scattering
  • What is the role of the nature of the electrolyte and solvent on the conductivity of electrolytic conductors?
