Question

what term describes the electrolyte capacity of sulfuric acid, which fully dissociates in water? h₂so₄ non - electrolyte strong electrolyte weak electrolyte

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To determine the term, we analyze the definitions:

  • Non - electrolytes do not dissociate into ions in solution, so sulfuric acid ($\ce{H_2SO_4}$) which dissociates can't be a non - electrolyte.
  • Weak electrolytes only partially dissociate in solution. But the problem states that sulfuric acid fully dissociates in water.
  • Strong electrolytes are substances that completely dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. Since sulfuric acid fully dissociates in water, it is a strong electrolyte.

Answer:

B. strong electrolyte
