The conductivity of an aqueous solution depends on the presence of free ions. Some solutes do not ionize in water (e.g. sugar) and so do not make a conductive solution. Others partially ionize (e.g. acetic acid) and so make a poorly conductive solution. Still others completely ionize (e.g. table salt) and so make a very conductive solution.
In water solutions of electrolytes, solute particles dissociate into ions that can conduct electricity, such as salts and acids. In contrast, nonelectrolytes do not dissociate into ions and do not conduct electricity, like sugar and alcohol.
One way to test if a solute is a molecular solid or an ionic compound is to measure its electrical conductivity. Ionic compounds will typically conduct electricity in solution due to the presence of free ions, while molecular solids typically do not conduct electricity in solution. Another way is to analyze the solute's melting point - ionic compounds tend to have higher melting points compared to molecular solids.
sometimes. All solutions have at least one solute and one solvent. While water often does act as a solvent, some solutions have other solvents. Solutions where the solute is dissolved in water belong to a special group of solutions called aqueous solutions.
Ethanol solution is a weak electrolyte. It partially dissociates into ions in solution, leading to a lower conductivity compared to strong electrolytes like salts.
Solutions can be classified into three categories based on phases: Gas-gas solutions: Solutions where both the solute and solvent are in the gas phase, such as air. Liquid-liquid solutions: Solutions where both the solute and solvent are in the liquid phase, such as sugar dissolved in water. Solid-liquid solutions: Solutions where the solute is a solid and the solvent is a liquid, such as salt dissolved in water.

Yes, of course !
Dilute solution contain small amounts of solute for a certain volume of solvent.
no solutions always do not contain liquid solute. eg: in a solution of salt and water water is the solvent and salt is the solvent.... also in lemonade sugar salt or anything r not liquid
An aqueous solution of a binary compound conducts electricity because the compound dissociates into ions in water. These free ions are able to carry electric charge and facilitate the flow of current. It is the presence of these mobile charged particles that allows the solution to conduct electricity.
They all contain a solvent and a solute (or more solutes).
Yes, exactly so.
Electrolytes contain solute particles that are able to conduct electricity when dissolved in water. These solute particles are typically ions, which are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, becoming charged. Examples include sodium ions (Na+), chloride ions (Cl-), and potassium ions (K+).
Yes, unsaturated solutions have less solute dissolved in the solvent compared to saturated solutions. Unsaturated solutions can dissolve more solute, while saturated solutions contain the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature.
Aqueous solutions contain polar or ionic solutes in solution; they do not scatter light; the sum of the volume of the solute plus the solvent (water) does not equal the volume of the solution; obviously they all contain water.
Solutions that have a small amount of solute.
The solute is dissolved in the solvent to form a solution.
