2. 2 In water, strong electrolytes produce ions and conduct an electric current. weak electrolytes produce a few ions. nonelectrolytes do not produce ions. Solutes and Ionic Charge Copyright © 2009 by Pearson Education, Inc.

3. 3 Strong electrolytes dissociate in water, producing positive and negative ions. conduct an electric current in water. in equations show the formation of ions in aqueous(aq) solutions. H 2 O 100% ions NaCl(s) Na + (aq) + Cl − (aq) H 2 O CaBr 2 (s) Ca 2+ (aq) + 2Br − (aq) Strong Electrolytes

6. 6 A weak electrolyte dissociates only slightly in water. in water forms a solution of a few ions and mostly undissociated molecules. HF(g) + H 2 O(l) H 3 O + (aq) + F - (aq) NH 3 (g) + H 2 O(l) NH 4 + (aq) + OH - (aq) Weak Electrolytes

7. 7 Nonelectrolytes dissolve as molecules in water. do not produce ions in water. do not conduct an electric current. Copyright © 2009 by Pearson Education, Inc.

8. 8 Equivalents An equivalent (Eq) is the amount of an electrolyte or an ion that provides 1 mole of electrical charge (+ or -). 1 mole of Na + = 1 equivalent 1 mole of Cl − = 1 equivalent 1 mole of Ca 2+ = 2 equivalents 1 mole of Fe 3+ = 3 equivalents

9. 9 Electrolytes in Body Fluids In replacement solutions for body fluids, the electrolytes are given in milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L). Ringer’s Solution Na + 147 mEq/LCl − 155 mEq/L K + 4 mEq/L Ca 2+ 4 mEq/L The milliequivalents per liter of cations must equal the milliequivalents per liter of anions.
