Chapter 6: Chemical Equilibrium

Electrolytes: solutes which carry electrical charge - these compounds are at least partially ionized 1. Strong Electrolytes = solutes almost completely ionized 2. Weak Electrolytes = solutes only partially ionized .Acids and Bases - electrolytes (can be weak or strong) 1. Bronsted-Lowery Theory: acids are proton donors bases are proton acceptors 2. Strong Acids and bases almost completely ionized 3. Weak acids and bases (poorly ionized). See Table 6-2 (memorize strong acids and bases)
