which one(s) of the following are strong electrolytes? HNO3, HCN, NH4OH, LiOH
HNO3 is the strong electrolyte. It completly ionize into H+ and NO3-. pKa = -1.3
HCN is a weak acid: Partially ionize, pKa is 9.2
NH4OH is a weak base : NH4OH ionize into NH4+ and -OH. As NH4 is strong acid NH4OH weak base
LiOH is a weak base : partially ionize in Li+ and -OH
