Question

Which of the following statements are true? ( Select all that apply)a) All strong acids are strong electrolytes and ionize completely when dissolved in waterb) All weak acids are strong electrolytes and ionize completely when dissolved in waterc) All weak bases are strong electrolytes and ionize completely when dissolved in waterd) All soluble ionic salts are strong electrolytes and dissociate completely when dissolved in water

Answer 1

All strong acids are strong electrolytes and ionize completely when dissolved in water.

Explanations:

An electrolyte is a medium that contains ions that are electrically conducting due to the movement of ions but they do not conduct electrons. They are known to partially or fully dissociate in ions solution.

Strong acids are known to dissociate completely into their ions and thus are referred to as strong electrolytes.

These acids also ionize completely when dissolved in water due to their polarity. For instance, HCl (hydrochloric acid) is a strong electrolyte, a strong acid, and can ionize completely when dissolved in water.

Based on the above explanations we can conclude that "all strong acids are strong electrolytes and ionize completely when dissolved in water"
