Are strong electrolytes soluble?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking whether strong electrolytes are soluble in a solvent. This relates to concepts in chemistry, specifically the properties of electrolytes and solubility.
Answer
Strong electrolytes can be either soluble or insoluble.
Strong electrolytes can be either soluble or insoluble, but they dissociate completely into ions when dissolved.
Answer for screen readers
Strong electrolytes can be either soluble or insoluble, but they dissociate completely into ions when dissolved.
More Information
Strong electrolytes, such as salts and strong acids, dissociate completely when dissolved in water, enabling them to conduct electricity well.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming that all strong electrolytes must be highly soluble. Solubility and electrolyte strength are related but distinct properties.
