Which of the following is a weak electrolyte?
CO2
HF
both (a) and (b)
neither of them
Answer:
AN electrolyte is basically defined as a solution that conducts electricity. It conducts electricity due to the presence of ions in solution. CO2 is a much weaker electrolyte than HF. HF will dissociate in solution to form H+ and F- ions. However to a smaller extent than lets say HCl. CO2 will not dissociate at all. CO2 will mainly dissolve in solution.
Both are weak electrolytes.
HF
CO2 is a nonelectrolyte.
HF is a weak acid which therefor conducts a weak electrical current.
