1 Answer

  • Electrolytes.....

    CH3CH2CH2OH ..... nonelectrolyte

    CuCO3 .... nonelectrolyte ... reacts with water to make solid Cu2CO3(OH)2 and CO2 gas

    HClO .... weak electrolyte / acid

    HClO3 ..... borderline weak electrolyte / acid

    LiClO4 ..... strong electrolyte .... ionizes completely

    C12H22O11 ..... nonelectrolyte
