Correct Answer: (d) sodium nitrate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When a substance dissolves in water, it can behave in one of three ways: as a strong electrolyte<\/strong>, weak electrolyte<\/strong>, or nonelectrolyte<\/strong>. This classification depends on the extent to which the substance dissociates into ions<\/strong> in aqueous solution. A strong electrolyte<\/strong> is a substance that completely dissociates into its constituent ions<\/strong> in water, conducting electricity very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s examine each option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n (a) Ammonia (NH\u2083):<\/strong> (b) Hydrofluoric acid (HF):<\/strong> (c) Folic acid:<\/strong> (d) Sodium nitrate (NaNO\u2083):<\/strong> (e) Sucrose (C\u2081\u2082H\u2082\u2082O\u2081\u2081):<\/strong> Conclusion:<\/strong> Which of these substances, when dissolved in water, is a strong electrolyte?

Ammonia is a weak base<\/strong>. When dissolved in water, it reacts partially with water to form ammonium (NH\u2084\u207a) and hydroxide (OH\u207b) ions. However, this reaction is reversible and does not proceed to completion<\/strong>, so ammonia is a weak electrolyte<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hydrofluoric acid is a weak acid<\/strong>. Unlike strong acids like HCl or HNO\u2083, HF only partially ionizes<\/strong> in water. This limited ionization makes HF a weak electrolyte<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Folic acid is a weak organic acid<\/strong>, and in water, it does not ionize completely<\/strong>. It is therefore a weak electrolyte<\/strong> or in some cases can act as a nonelectrolyte<\/strong>, depending on concentration and pH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sodium nitrate is an ionic compound<\/strong> composed of Na\u207a and NO\u2083\u207b ions. When it dissolves in water, it completely dissociates<\/strong> into these ions. Since this dissociation is 100%<\/strong>, sodium nitrate is a strong electrolyte<\/strong>. Solutions of NaNO\u2083 conduct electricity very well due to the presence of free-moving ions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sucrose is a covalent compound<\/strong> (a sugar), and when it dissolves in water, it does not break into ions<\/strong>. It simply dissolves as whole molecules. Therefore, sucrose is a nonelectrolyte<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only sodium nitrate (d)<\/strong> completely dissociates into ions in water, making it a strong electrolyte<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner5-449.jpeg\")
