Question

1. differentiate electrolytes and non - electrolytes
2. give an example of a drink that contains electrolytes and how does it work on out body?

Explanation:

Sub - question 1

Electrolytes are substances that dissociate into ions in solution and conduct electricity (e.g., NaCl, KCl). Non - electrolytes do not dissociate into ions and do not conduct electricity (e.g., glucose, ethanol).

An example of a drink with electrolytes is sports drink (e.g., Gatorade). During exercise, we lose electrolytes (like Na⁺, K⁺) and water through sweat. Sports drinks replenish these electrolytes. Sodium helps in maintaining fluid balance and nerve - muscle function, potassium is important for muscle contractions and nerve signals. The drink also provides carbohydrates for energy.

Answer:

Electrolytes: Substances that dissociate into ions in solution (or molten state) and can conduct electricity (e.g., sodium chloride, potassium chloride). Non - electrolytes: Substances that do not dissociate into ions in solution and cannot conduct electricity (e.g., glucose, ethanol).
