The final answer is that AgCl is considered a strong electrolyte.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is that AgCl is considered a strong electrolyte.
More Information
Silver chloride (AgCl) is considered a strong electrolyte because it dissociates completely into Ag+ and Cl- ions in the small amount that dissolves in water, even though it is largely insoluble.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing solubility with electrolyte strength. Even insoluble ionic compounds can be strong electrolytes if they dissociate completely when dissolved.
