Electrolytes - Example Papers

Electrolytes


are liquids that conduct electricity. Most need to be
dissolved into water or another solvent. Battery’s have an electrolyte in
them, either as a liquid or as a paste. Liquid are used in
electrolysis, electroplating, and other chemical processes.
When dissolve they release positive and negative ions.
The released ions carry electric charges between electrodes, in the
solution. Cations (a positively charged ion that migrates to the cathode,
a negative electrode) carry positive electric charges toward the cathode.
Anions carry negative electric charges toward the anode, positive electrode.
Strong electrolytes release many ions and conduct electricity well.
Weak electrolytes, like ...

are
ionically (electrically) bonded together. They already made out of cations
and anions, but in their solid state the ions are locked into position in
their crystal structure, and can’t move around. When the ionic compound is
dissolved into water the water molecules, which are polar,(having a
positive and a negative end) will be attracted to the positive ions. This
attraction of different charges will create tension in the crystal and it
will overcome the attice (the arrangement of molecules in a crystalline
solid) energy keeping the crystal in place. Once this happens the cations
will be surrounded by water molecules, and so will the anions. This is
called the solution process. This makes a lower order of organization of
the ions. The ions are now in a simpler form so they have higher mobility,
and can carry electrical particles to conduct electricity.
Salts that are completely dissolvable in water are usually strong
electrolytes. The salts that are barely ...
