Lear Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend. Analysts' Actions -- F5 Networks, GoPro, Lockheed Martin, U.S. Steel and More. Here are Wednesday's top research calls, including upgrades for F5 Networks, U.S. Steel, Lockheed Martin and Sysco, and downgrades for GoPro, Kansas City Southern, Globus and Constellation Brands.
â¢ Electrolyte is basically a medium for the current flow. Electrode is the connection between the conducting part of the circuit and non-metallic part of the circuit. â¢ The voltage generated from an electrochemical cell depends on the two metals used and the concentration of the electrolyte ions.
Electrolytes are substances which, when dissolved in water, break up into cations (plus-charged ions) and anions (minus-charged ions). We say they ionize. Strong electrolytes ionize completely (100%), while weak electrolytes ionize only partially (usually on the order of 110%). That is, the principal species in solution for strong electrolytes are ions, while the principal specie in solution for weak electrolytes is the un-ionized compound itself. Strong electrolytes fall into three categories: strong acids, strong bases, and salts. (Salts are sometimes also called ionic compounds, but really strong bases are ionic compounds as well.) The weak electrolytes include weak acids and weak bases.
