Higher concentrations can lead to decreased dissociation due to ion pairing.
Solvent polarity, with polar solvents like water enhancing dissociation.
Higher temperatures generally increase the rate of dissociation.
The process by which an electrolyte separates into its constituent ions when dissolved in a solvent, typically water.
The ability of a solution to conduct electricity is directly related to the concentration and mobility of the ions produced by dissociation.
It is crucial for processes like electrolysis and battery function.
They play a vital role in physiological processes, including nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction.
Electrolytes that partially dissociate into ions, such as CH₃COOH and NH₄OH.
Substances that dissociate into ions in solution, allowing the solution to conduct electricity.
Many chemical reactions in solution depend on the presence of dissociated ions.
NaCl (s) → Na⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)
Electrolytes that completely dissociate into ions, such as NaCl and HCl.
When ionic compounds dissolve in water, the polar water molecules surround the ions, pulling them apart.
