Which means that DPSG sodas often appear in Coke or Pepsi vending machines, sometimes even in place of Coke or Pepsi's equivalent brand. For example, Coke's Pibb, their version of Dr Pepper, is harder to find in the New York City area because the local Coke bottler has long held the area rights to Dr Pepper.
Potassium chloride, KCl, is an electrolyte, because in water it dissociates into solvated potassium and chloride ions.
We say they ionize. Strong electrolytes ionize completely (100%), while weak electrolytes ionize only partially (usually on the order of 1â10%). 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. Examples of strong and weak electrolytes are given below:
