Strong and Weak Electrolytes
• Pure water does not conduct electricity because of a lack of free moving ions.
Strong and Weak Electrolytes

Strong and Weak Electrolytes
• These are the strong electrolytes!
• Strong acids:
HI, HBr, HCl, HNO3, and H2SO4
• Strong bases:
LiOH, NaOH, KOH, RbOH, CsOH
• Soluble salts:
are found using Reference Table F
NaCl, MgSO4, K2Cr2O7, NH4NO3, etc!
Strong and Weak Electrolytes
• These are the weak electrolytes!
• Weak acids:
are all acids that are not strong
• Weak bases:
are all bases that are not strong
• Insoluble salts:
are found using Reference Table F
