Question

Name the following:

A salt which is a weak electrolyte

Answer 1

1. The electrolytes which cannot be dissociated into ions completely is weak electrolyte only a partial dissociation is there.
2. Weak electrolytes are commonly polar covalent compounds.
3. There are acidic basic and salt form of weak electrolytes present and these are poor conductors of electricity as well.
4. $HgC{l}_2,PbB{r}_2$, etc are weak electrolytes in the salt form and they only dissociate partially.

So, a salt which is a weak electrolyte is $\mathit{H}\mathit{g}\mathit{C}{\mathit{l}}_{\mathbf{2}}$.
