Chapter 5

Question 1

conducting electricity

Answer 1

ions will conduct electricity

Question 2

electrolytes

Answer 2

solutes that provide ions when dissolved in water
all electrolytes provide ions in water, but not equal in tendencies
strong: completely ionized
weak: partially ionized

Question 3

nonelectrolytes

Answer 3

solutes that don’t provide ions in water

Question 4

generalization of non/weak/strong electrolytes

Answer 4

all soluble ionic compounds and only a few molecular compounds are strong electrolytes
most molecular compounds are either nonelectrolytes/weak

Question 5

reversible

Answer 5

double arrows in equation
means only a fraction of the solute molecules are ionized
proportion of ionized and nonionized molecules remain fixed
