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!

• 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
