Acetone is non-electrolyte;HClO is a weak electrolyte; and NH4Cl is a strong electrolyte.?

Question

Solve: If 0.1 mol of reach compound is dissolved in water, which one contains 0.2 mol of solute particles, which one contains 0.1 mole of solute particles, and which contains between 0.1 and 0.2 mol of solute particles? Write equations to show reasoning?

Answer 1

CH3COCH3(aq) --> CH3COCH3(aq) (doesn't ionize conc(final) = conc(initial)) = 0.1 M

2HClO(aq) --> H+(aq) + ClO-(aq) + HClO(aq) (some ionizes conc (final) > conc (initial)) = between 0.1 M and 0.2 M

NH4Cl(aq) --> NH4+(aq) + Cl-(aq) (all ionizes conc (final) = 2 conc (initial)) = 0.2 M

Answer 2

acetone is non-electrolyte : if we have 0.1 mol in H2O since it does not dissociate we find 0.1 mol
HClO is a weak electolyte HClO <--> H+ + ClO- we find between 0.1 and 0.2 mol of solute particles
NH4Cl is a strong electrolyte : NH4Cl >> NH4+ + Cl- . We find 0.2 moles of solute particles

Answer 3

Acetone, CH3CO.CH3, yields 0.1 mol particles, because it does not dissociate.

HClO <===> H+ + ClO+ incompletely ionized, so yields between 0.1 mol and 0.2 mol.

NH4Cl ===> NH4+ + Cl- so yields 0.2 mol particles
