Find out strong electrolyte , weak electrolyte or non-electrolyte

Post by Dhamnekar Winod »

Designate each of the following compounds as a strong electrolyte, weak electrolyte or nonelectrolyte:

(a) kBr (b) NH4Cl
(c) CH3NH2 (d) HCN
(e) CO2 (f) NaC2H3O2
(g) HCOOH (h)HClO4
(i) C6H12 (j) CaO
(k) NaOH (l) CH3COCH3
(m) CH3CH2OH (n) SO2
(o)NH4C2H2O2 (p) CH3OCH3
(q) CH3CH2CO2CH3 (r) MgI2
(s) HF (t) CH3CH2Cl

I an working on this question. Any chemistry help will be accepted.

Strong electrolytes:(a) KBr (b) NH4Cl (f) NaC2H3O2 (h) HClO4 (j)CaO (k) NaOH (o) NH4C2H3O2(r)MgI2

Weak electrolytes: (c)CH3NH2 (d)HCN (e)CO2 (g)HCOOH (n) SO2 (s) HF

Non-electrolytes: (i) C6H12 (l) CH3COCH3 (m) CH3CH2OH (p) CH3OCH3 (q) CH3CH2CO2CH3 (t)CH3CH2Cl

I am doubtful about (q). It is a 2- Methyl- Propionic Acid (weak acid). So it may be weak electrolyte also. What is your opinion about (q)?

According the formula CH3CH2CO2CH3 it is not 2- Methylpropionic acid. It is Propionic acid methylester. This is a solvent and a non electrolyte.
2-Methylpropionic acid would be ( CH3)2CH-COOH
