Question

Arrange the following electrolytes in the decreasing order of the degree of dissociation.

• A. $H_{2}S{O}_4$
• B. $HCl$
• C. $HCOOH$
• D. $C_6{H}_{12}{O}_6$

Answer 1

Stronger electrolytes have high degree of dissociation, which is followed by weak and non electrolytes respectively.

Here, $H_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4$ is a strong electrolyte than compared to $HCl$ . While $HCOOH$ is a weak electrolyte.
On the other hand, glucose is a non electrolyte so it never dissociates.
Thus the correct order is $H_{2}S{O}_4$ > $H\mathrm{Cl}$ > $HCOOH$ > $C_6{H}_{12}{O}_6$
