Electrolytes: Definition, Examples, & Practice

- To tell if a substance is an electrolyte or non-electrolyte we first need to know what type of compound we have and if it will produce ions when dissolved in water.
-- Definition--
An electrolyte is: a substance that dissolves in water (or other polar solvent) to produce ions and a solution that conducts electricity.
---- Classifying Electrolytes ----
- Strong Electrolyte: completely dissociate in solution and conducts electricity. Soluble ionic compounds and strong acids are electrolytes.
- Weak Electrolyte: partially dissociate in solution and poorly conduct electricity.
- Non-Electrolytes: do not dissociate into ions and do not conduct electricity. Most molecular compounds are non-electrolytes.

Sports drinks, like Gatorade or Powerade, consist of primarily Potassium and Sodium electrolytes to provide hydration due to sweating. Other important electrolytes are chloride , calcium, magnesium, and phosphate. Drinks containing electrolytes are also used extensively in medicine for oral rehydration.

So helpful...Dr. B you're an amazing teacher
Thank you very much is the best video explaining electrolytes
I’m gonna ask a question I Don’t know if you’ll answer or not but it’s worth a shot
Is KOH>C2H2O4(oxalic acid)>NaCl>C12H22O11 true?
In terms of electrical conductivity of their solutions in water ? Or in general ?
Needed to brush my memory from about 20 years ago and this was vert helpful!
Me too , not 20 haha but like 10
Why does acetic acid count as a weak acid if it's comprised of all nonmetals? Is it just an exception to the rule?
Amazing thank you sir .Please upload lectures on oxidation and reduction .
Glad you asked. I just made this a few months ago!

Why do strong bases dissolve in water/polar solvents? I thought like dissolves like when it comes to polarity
Thanks for the demonstration 👌👌
Basic chamistry ka ye 4unit hai
Really usefull thanks!
Great Video!
Thanks!
इसी विषय पर कुछ और विडियो बनाओ सर
thank you
No problem!
wouldn't H3Po4 be a non electrolyte because it classifies as a covalent compound?
It's a weak acid (some of the Hydrogen atoms dissociation) so that makes it a weak electrolyte.
8:29 You said NH4, but it's actually NH3. NH4 does not exist as a neutrally charged compound.
I'll go back and add a note!
Dr. B, do you have the strong acids table for download? Thanks
I don't have the exact table but this page has a list of strong acids and bases:
chem.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/General_Chemistry/Map%3A_General_Chemistry_(Petrucci_et_al.)/16%3A_Acids_and_Bases/16.4%3A_Strong_Acids_and_Strong_Bases
There is a simple rule to determine if the acid is strong or weak without memorising the whole list of them
@@glebs1823What is it sir ?
6:51 You said CH4, but you put C4H10 there. Anyway, both CH4 and C4H10 are non-electrolytes.
