Respuesta :
Ionic solutes are considered strong electrolytes. What does this mean for the conductivity of the solution? Â
A) Strong electrolytes dissolve and completely dissociate in water providing charged ions to conduct electricity. Â
B) Strong electrolytes dissolve and do not dissociate in water providing no charged ions to conduct electricity. Â
C) Being a strong electrolyte refers the type of bonding and has no bearing on conducting electricity. Â
D) Strong electrolytes do not dissolve in water and can not conduct electricity. Â
                     ANSWER:
A) Strong electrolytes dissolve and completely dissociate in water providing charged ions to conduct electricity.
Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When a compound dissolves in a solution and changes into ions then it is able to conduct electricity.
For example, KCl is an ionic compound and when dissolved in a solution then it is able to dissociate into [tex]K^{+}[/tex] and [tex]Cl^{-}[/tex] ions. Hence, it is able to conduct electricity.
Therefore, we can conclude that ionic solutes are considered strong electrolytes because strong electrolytes dissolve and completely dissociate in water providing charged ions to conduct electricity.
