Is C2H5OH a strong electrolyte?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking whether ethanol (C2H5OH) acts as a strong electrolyte when dissolved in water. To determine this, we need to understand what a strong electrolyte is and how ethanol behaves in an aqueous solution.

Answer

C2H5OH (ethanol) is a non-electrolyte.

The final answer is that C2H5OH is a non-electrolyte.

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is that C2H5OH is a non-electrolyte.

More Information

Ethanol does not dissociate into ions in water, thus it cannot conduct electricity and is classified as a non-electrolyte.

Tips

Common mistakes include assuming that the presence of an OH group automatically makes it an electrolyte, which is not true for ethanol.
