SUMMARY: ELECTROLYTES

In this article about electrolytes, it present about either a physical or a

chemical change that yields ions in solution when some substances are
dissolve in water. The substances that important class of compounds called
electrolytes and when the substances not yield ions when dissolved are
called nonelectrolytes. When all of the dissolve compound yields ions, the
substance is known as a strong electrolyte. Substances may be identified as
strong, weak, or nonelectrolytes by measuring the electrical conductance.
The substances must contain freely mobile, charged species to conduct
electricity. The conduct electricity will increase as ion concentration if they
contain dissolves ions. Applying a voltage to electrodes immersed in a
solutions permits assessment of a relative concentration of dissolve ions,
either quantitatively, by measuring the electrical current flow or
quantitively. The electrostatic attraction between an ion and a molecule
with a dipole is called an ion-dipole attraction. It important role in the
dissolution of ionic compounds in water. The ions in the solid separate and
disperse uniformly thoughout solutions when ionic compound dissolve in
water. Ionic compounds will dissociate nearly complete when dissolved, and
they will be as strong electrolytes. Ion-dipole forces attract the positive
hydrogen end of polar water molecules to the negative chloride ions at the
surface of the solid. The reduction of the electrostatic attraction permits the
independent motion of each hydrated ion. The solutions of hydrogen
chloride in many other solvents, such as benzene, do not conduct electricity
and do not contain ions.
