Which compounds are classified as electrolytes? (1) KNO3 and H2SO4 (3) CH3OCH3 and H2SO4 (2) KNO3 and CH3OH (4) CH3OCH3 and CH3OH

Respuesta :

KNO₃ and H₂SO₄ are classified as electrolytes since they dissociate in water.  KNO₃ in water goes to K₊ and NO₃⁻.  H₂SO₄ in water can be thought of as going to 2H⁺ and SO₄²⁻ but later on you will learn that when placed into water, H₂SO₄ actually forms H₊, HSO₄⁻, and SO₄²⁻  since HSO₄⁻ is a weak acid and won't dissociate completely.
I hope this helps and if anything is unclear feel free to ask about it in the comments.
