Compare with strong electrolyte. A weak electrolyte is a solute that incompletely dissociates into ions in solution. For example, acetic acid partially dissociates into acetate ions and hydrogen ions, so that an acetic acid solution contains both molecules and ions. A solution of a weak electrolyte can conduct electricity, but usually not as well a...
(from the article `liquid`) While classification under the heading electrolyte-solution or nonelectrolyte-solution is often useful, some solutions have properties near the ...
A substance that conducts electricity poorly in a dilute aqueous solution.
A substance that conducts electricity poorly in a dilute aqueous solution.
an acid, base, or salt that dissociates only slightly to form ions in solution.
