Question

What is the difference between strong and weak electrolytes?

Answer 1

Hint : Electrolysis is a chemistry and industrial process that employs direct electric current (DC) to drive a chemical reaction that would otherwise be non-spontaneous. Electrolysis is significant in the industrial separation of elements from naturally occurring sources like ores using an electrolytic cell.

Complete Step By Step Answer:
An electrolyte is a material that dissociates into charged particles known as ions when it comes into contact with water. Cations are ions that have a positive charge. Anions are ions that have a negative charge. Simply said, an electrolyte is a material that, when melted or dissolved in water, may conduct an electric current. When dissolved in a polar solvent, such as water, an electrolyte generates an electrically conducting solution. The electrolyte in solution separates into cations and anions, which spread evenly throughout the solvent. Such a solution is electrically neutral. When an electric potential is introduced to such a solution, the cations are pulled to the electrode with the most electrons, while the anions are pulled to the electrode with the least electrons.
Strong Electrolytes - Electrolytes are chemical species that, when dissolved in water, transmit electricity.
Weak electrolytes - A weak electrolyte is an electrolyte that ionises very little in solution.

Strong electrolytes	Weak electrolytes
Strong electrolytes are electrolytes that are entirely ionised.	Weak electrolytes are electrolytes that are partly ionised.
The ionisation extends farther.	Ionisation has a shorter range.
They have a high conductivity of electricity.	Electrical conductivity is poor in them.
The dilution law of Ostwald is not applicable.	The dilution law of Ostwald is applied.

Note :
A current is the movement of anions and cations in opposing directions inside a solution. Most soluble salts, acids, and bases fall under this category. Some gases, such as hydrogen chloride (HCl), can act as electrolytes when exposed to high temperatures or low pressures. Some biological (e.g., DNA) and synthetic polymers (e.g., polystyrene sulfonate) that include charged functional groups, referred to as "polyelectrolytes," can also result in electrolyte solutions. In solution, a material that dissociates into ions gains the ability to conduct electricity. Electrolytes include sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, and phosphate.
