Electrolytes are easier for the body to absorb for nutritional value than salts. Essentially, salts are just salts, while electrolytes are salts plus more, such as potassium.

Is table salt a strong or weak or non-electrolyte?

Table salt (sodium chloride) is a strong electrolyte in aqueous solution. It dissociates completely into sodium ions and chloride ions, allowing it to conduct electricity effectively.


What is the difference between a strong electrolyte and a weak electrolyte in terms of their ability to conduct electricity?

A strong electrolyte fully dissociates into ions in solution, allowing it to conduct electricity well. A weak electrolyte only partially dissociates, resulting in lower conductivity of electricity.


What is the difference between a weak electrolyte and a strong electrolyte in terms of their ability to conduct electricity?

A strong electrolyte fully dissociates into ions in solution, allowing it to conduct electricity well. A weak electrolyte only partially dissociates, so it conducts electricity less effectively.


Would a galvanic cell work without a salt bridge?

No, a galvanic cell cannot function properly without a salt bridge because the salt bridge maintains charge neutrality by allowing ions to move between the two half-cells. Without a salt bridge, charge would build up, disrupting the cell's ability to produce an electric current.


What is the difference between a strong and weak electrolyte in terms of their ability to conduct electricity?

A strong electrolyte fully dissociates into ions in solution, allowing it to conduct electricity well. A weak electrolyte only partially dissociates, limiting its ability to conduct electricity.
