Strong vs. Weak Electrolytes, Extended to the Van't Hoff Factor

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Chem 0406's strong-dissociates-completely, weak-dissociates-partially distinction now sets how many particles each dissolved formula unit actually contributes.

Show

Hydrochloric acid dissociates essentially completely, while acetic acid leaves most molecules un-dissociated at the same concentration, giving each a different effective particle count.

Watch for

Strong and weak describe how completely a substance dissociates, never how much is dissolved — a weak electrolyte can still be concentrated.
