GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -An electrolyte is a substance that dissociates in water into charged particles called ions. Positively charged ions are called cations. Negatively charged ions are called anions. Simply, an electrolyte is a substance that can conduct an electric current when melted or dissolved in water.

Detailed explanation-2: -All soluble ionic compounds are strong electrolytes. They conduct very well because they provide a plentiful supply of ions in solution. Some polar covalent compounds are also strong electrolytes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inorganic compounds in human hepatic bile comprise electrolytes in concentrations similar to those in plasma, with the noticeable exception of HCO 3 − concentration which is higher in bile.

Detailed explanation-4: -Substances that dissolve in water to yield ions are called electrolytes. Electrolytes may be covalent compounds that chemically react with water to produce ions (for example, acids and bases), or they may be ionic compounds that dissociate to yield their constituent cations and anions, when dissolved.

Detailed explanation-5: -An electrolyte is a soluble inorganic compound whose ions will conduct an electrical current in solution (such as water which composes roughly 60% of the adult human body).
