Question 10 • HCISD-Integrated Physics and Chemistry A-CR SUMMER

Which is a characteristic of a weak electrolyte?

Answer
A
It does not dissociate or ionize in water.
B
It partially dissociates or ionizes in water.
C
It does not conduct electricity.
D
It easily conducts electricity.

Explanation

A weak electrolyte only partially dissociates or ionizes in water, so only some of its particles form ions. Those ions allow it to conduct electricity, but less effectively than a strong electrolyte. Therefore, the correct choice is B, “It partially dissociates or ionizes in water.”
