Question

The theory of electrolytic dissociation suggests that:
A. The electrolyte on dissolution in water split up in two types of charged particles, i.e., cation and anions.
B. The dissociation being a reversible process in nature.
C. The properties of electrolyte in solutions are the properties of ions furnished by them.
D. None of the above.

Answer 1

The theory of electrolytic dissociation is also called the Arrhenius theory of electrolytic dissociation. The theory of electrolytic dissociation explains the properties of the electrolyte when it is dissolved in a suitable solvent.

Complete answer:
- In the question it is given what theory of electrolytic dissociation suggests.
- The theory of electrolytic dissociation suggests the below points.
- When an electrolyte is dissolved in water, the electrolyte splits into two charged ions called cation and cation. For example if sodium chloride is going to added to water it is going to form sodium cation ($N{{a}^{+}}$ ) and chloride anion ($C{{l}^{-}}$ ).
- The dissociation of the electrolyte is a reversible process.
$NaCl\rightleftarrows N{{a}^{+}}+C{{l}^{-}}$
- The property of the electrolyte is going to depend on the properties of the ions that are produced after dissolution. For example water is bad conductor electricity but when sodium chloride is added it conducts electricity. Means the conductance is due to the presence of sodium chloride.

Therefore the options A, B and C are correct.

Note:
Electrolyte means it is a chemical that liberates ions when dissolved in water. The ions liberated from the electrolyte decide the properties of the water. The properties of all electrolytes are not the same. The properties of the electrolyte are going to depend on the composition of the chemical.
