What types of compounds dissociate in water to give ions?
- Electrolytes = acids, bases and soluble salts
- Nonelectrolytes = covalent and organic
compounds, precipitates
Do not dissociate into ions:
electrolytes Acids
- Covalent compound having any anion
with a H+
- begin with H
- Generate H+ ions in aq. sol’n
- Ex- HCl, HBr, H2SO4, HNO3, H2CO3
electrolytes Bases
- Strong = any soluble metal cation + OH-
Ex- NaOH, KOH
- Weak = NH3
