Question

Define Electrolyte. 2. Solutions that are electrolytes have ions in solution. These ions are surrounded by layers of water molecules known as the solvation sphere. Ions with their solvation spheres are able to move freely about the solution and thus can be capable of transporting an electrical charge. For each of the following compounds identify the ions that will occur in solution. Compound Name Cation(s) Anion(s) BaCl2 barium chloride Ba² (29) 2 (24) Nas ZnBr2 FeCl3 LiOH AgC H:02 Mn(CIO) K3PO4 CuCl2 Al(NO3)3 Co2(SO4)3
