Question

Methanol, CH3OH, is a nonelectrolyte; hypochlorousacid, HClO, is a weak electrolyte; and calcium hydroxide,Ca(OH)2, is a strong electrolyte. What are thesolute particles present in aqueous solutions of eachcompound?

Explanation / Answer

Solute particles: CH3OH. explanation: methanol is a nonelectrolyte, thus it doesn'tionize in aqueous solution.
Hypochlorous acid:
solute particles: H+, ClO-, and HClO
explanation: weak electrolyte HClO ionizes partially insolution. Thus, HClO still stay there. there is an equilibriumbetween these three particles.
Calcium hydroxide: Ca2+, OH-
Hint: strong electrolyte completely ionize insolution.
