What are the examples of strong salts?

Question

because strong salts fall under strong electrolytes right? So i got to know. and how would you determine a substance if its a strong electrolyte, weak electrolyte or a non- electrolyte? i can't understand the explanations in encyclopedias and in other websites

Answer 1

YOU HAVE TO BE TOLD IF ITS WEAK OR STRONG, BUT:

Look at the solubility rules (those that are soluble are most likely strong salts). The strong acids and bases are strong salts (and electrolytes)

If a substance partially dissociates, you have an equillibrium of reactants and products present. This would be a weak electrolyte:

CO(g) + 3H2 (g) <----> CH4(g) + H2O(g)

A strong electrolyte completely dissociates into its products:

HCl(aq) ----> H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

HOWEVER, EVEN THE STRONG ELECTROLYTES DO NOT COMPLETELY DISSOCIATE (some HCl still remains, but very little)

Answer 2

Strong electrolytes are made of mixtures that dissociate almost completely in water. That means that they break apart to form as many ions as possible.

NaCl is a good electrolyte because it dissociates completely in water into Na+ and Cl-.

A very poor electrolyte means that it does not dissociate very much. Like...a rock. Yes, a rock is a terrible electrolyte.

Answer 3

mixtures of strong acids and strong bases

mix any of the following (acid and base of course)

strong acids: HCl, H2SO4, HNO3,

strong bases: hydroxides of group I and II metals

example: KOH, Na2SO4, LiNO3

Answer 4

Strong Acids:

Perchloric acid HClO4

Hydroiodic acid HI

Hydrobromic acid HBr

Hydrochloric acid HCl

Sulfuric acid H2SO4

Nitric acid HNO3

Stong Bases:

Potassium hydroxide (KOH)

Barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2)

Caesium hydroxide (CsOH)

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)

Strontium hydroxide (Sr(OH)2)

Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2)

Lithium hydroxide (LiOH)

Rubidium hydroxide (RbOH)

Anything that will almost COMPLETELY ionize in water is considered a strong electrolyte.  So, all strong acids, strong bases, and all ionic salts that aren't weak acids/weak bases.
