Scientists are not disinterested truth seekers; they are more like players in an intense, winner-take- all competition for scientific prestige and the resources that follow from that prestige. The sooner we admit to these facts and learn to distinguish between serious scientific misconduct and common human conduct by scientists, the
I've cried many nights wondering why I have to take this class to get my nursing degree. Acetone, CH3COCH3, is a nonelectrolyte; hypochlorous acid, HClO, is a weak electrolyte; and ammonium chloride, NH4Cl, is a strong electrolyte. 1.
Strong acids and strong bases are strong electrolytes [e.g., HCl(aq), H 2 SO 4 (aq), HClO 4 (aq);NaOH(aq)]. There are virtually no molecules of a strong acid or base in solution, only ions.Know the strong acids and bases on the accompanying hand-out Strong and Weak Acidsand Bases. Assume that any other acid or base you encounter in this course is weak, unlesstold to the contrary. [Note: Mg(OH) 2, an insoluble compound, is a strong base because it is anionic compound and therefore a strong electrolyte.].
