ELECTROLYTES AND NON ELECTROLYTES
OBJECTIVES
1. Classify substances according to its electrical conductivity;
2. Differentiate electrolytes from non-electrolytes;
Solids
11. salt (NaCl) crystals The bulb did not light up Non electrolyte
12. sugar crystals The bulb did not light up Non electrolyte
Commercial drinks
17. Ice tea The bulb’s light was dim Weak electrolyte
20. Diet Pepsi The bulb’s light was dim Weak electrolyte
GUIDE QUESTIONS
Based from this activity:
1. Differentiate electrolytes from non-electrolytes.
Electrolytes conduct electricity because of the composition of their molecules, while on the other hand non-
electrolytes does not conduct electricity because they do no dissociate into ions therefore not able to conduct
electricity
2. Why do we need to wash/ rise the electrodes with distilled water after each test?
So that there will be no remnants of the previous solution, and so that it will not interfere with the current
solution being tested.
3. Differentiate NaCl crystals and NaCl (aq) with regards to their electrical conductivity. EGVD01202022
NaCl crystals was a non-electrolyte and NaCl (aq) was a strong electrolyte.
