  • Aluminum Chloride (AlCl₃): Strong Electrolyte Properties & Dissociation
    Aluminum chloride (AlCl₃) is a strong electrolyte. Here's why:

    * Strong Electrolytes: These substances completely ionize (break apart into ions) when dissolved in water. This means they produce a large number of free-moving ions, making the solution highly conductive.

    * Aluminum Chloride: When AlCl₃ dissolves in water, it dissociates into aluminum ions (Al³⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻):

    AlCl₃ (s) → Al³⁺ (aq) + 3Cl⁻ (aq)

    Since AlCl₃ completely ionizes in solution, it is classified as a strong electrolyte.
