Formic acid, HCOOH, is a weak electrolyte. Write the chemical equation for the ionization of HCOOH.
Acetone, CH3COCH3, is a nonelectrolyte; hypochlorous acid, HClO, is a weak electrolyte; and ammonium chloride, NH4Cl, is a strong electrolyte. (b) If 0.1 mol of each compound is dissolved in solution, which one contains 0.2 mol of solute particles, which contains 0.1 mol of solute particles, and which contains somewhere between 0.1 and 0.2 mol of solute particles?
Using solubility guidelines, predict whether each of the following compounds is soluble or insoluble in water: (a) MgBr2
