Subject outcome
Subject Outcome 6.3: Identify, describe, and apply principles of chemical reactions (electrolytes)
Learning outcomes
- Identify and describe electrolytes.
- Describe hydrolysed salts as sources of electrolytes and determine the solubility of salts as measured by conductivity of solution.
- Identify acids as potential sources of electrolyte.
- Identify the interaction (displacement reactions) and effect of ions in aqueous solutions (e.g. corrosive).
Unit 1 outcomes
By the end of this unit you will be able to:
- Give a definition of an electrolyte and identify them.
- Identify salts which are sources of electrolytes.
- Determine their solubility by how much electricity they conduct.
- Identify acids which are sources of electrolytes.
- Identify the effects of ions in an aqueous solution.
