Post Lab:Electrolytes Electrolytes Are substances that form positive(+) and negative (-) ions in water Conduct an electric current Electrolytes in the Body Carry messages sent to and from the brain as electrical signals Maintain cellular function with the correct concentrations electrolytes Conduction Illustrated Is it a strong electrolyte, a weak electrolyte, or a nonelectrolyte? Strong electrolytes include: Strong acids (all acids begin with H) Ex: HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, H2SO4, HClO4) Strong Electrolytes are 100% ionized salts H2O 100%ions NaCl(s) Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) H2O CaBr2(s) Ca2+(aq) + 2Br- (aq) acids H2O HCl(g) H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq) Bases H2O NaOH(s) Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) Weak electrolytes Most of the solute exists as molecules in solution Only a few solute particles produce ions HF + H2O ? H3O+(aq) + F- (aq) acid NH3 + H2O ? NH4+(aq) + OH- (aq) base Nonelectrolytes Dissolve as molecules only No ions are produced in water Do not conduct an electric current H2O C6H12O6 (s) ?? C6H12O6 (aq) glucose Electrolytic Properties of Aqueous Solutions Dissolving Polar Covalent Compounds Some dissolve only as molecules EX: Sucrose * Dissolving Ionic Solutes Solid ionic compounds ~ Ions not free to move not ? current ~ Must be dissolved in H2O Observations coming up Substance tested Scale (0-4) Conductivity ( low, medium, high, none) Strong, Weak or Non-Electrolyte Classification of Electrolyte (acid/base, Ionic salt, alcohol, covalent organic molecule Ionic equations for each electrolyte Questions for Analysis Some substances conduct electricity because of the ions present. Those substances that do not dissociate into ions do not conduct electricity. Electrolytes=dissociate to produce ions Non-Electrolytes do not have ions to dissociate 2. Could any of these substances
