A <strong>strong electrolyte<\/strong> is a substance that completely dissociates into ions when dissolved in water. These substances conduct electricity very efficiently because they produce a large number of ions in solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s analyze each option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>LiOH (Lithium hydroxide):<\/strong><br>Lithium hydroxide is an ionic compound, and like other alkali metal hydroxides (e.g., NaOH, KOH), it dissociates completely in water. It forms Li\u207a and OH\u207b ions in solution, making it a strong electrolyte.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>HNO\u2083 (Nitric acid):<\/strong><br>Nitric acid is a strong acid, and strong acids completely dissociate into their ions when dissolved in water. In the case of HNO\u2083, it dissociates into H\u207a and NO\u2083\u207b ions, making it a strong electrolyte.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>KBr (Potassium bromide):<\/strong><br>Potassium bromide is an ionic compound. When it dissolves in water, it dissociates completely into K\u207a and Br\u207b ions, making it a strong electrolyte.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>NH\u2084Cl (Ammonium chloride):<\/strong><br>Ammonium chloride is an ionic compound that dissolves in water to form NH\u2084\u207a and Cl\u207b ions. While it dissociates into ions, the ammonium ion (NH\u2084\u207a) is not as readily dissociated or as conductive as the ions from a strong base or acid. Therefore, NH\u2084Cl is considered a <strong>weak electrolyte<\/strong> because it does not dissociate as completely as the others listed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>HNO\u2083 (Nitric acid):<\/strong><br>This is the same substance mentioned earlier in option B. As explained, it is a strong acid and a strong electrolyte because it dissociates completely in water.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, <strong>NH\u2084Cl<\/strong> is the only compound listed that does not dissociate fully into ions in solution, making it a weak electrolyte compared to the others, which are all strong electrolytes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which one of the following is NOT a strong electrolyte?A) LiOHB) HNO3C) KBrD) NH CIE) HNO The Correct Answer and Explanation is : The correct answer is D) NH\u2084Cl.
