Electrolytes, Dissociation, and Tonizaion Resources x previous 4 of 19 In The hydration equation When solvent molecules surround solute molecules, the process is known as solvation. When water is the solvent used, the process is known as hydration. Recall that hydra means water. The hydration equation is used to describe the process of solvation for strong electrolytes, weak electrolytes, and nonelectrolytes A strong electrolyte like NaCl forms Na and Cl ions in water. Its hydration equation is represented as NaCI(s) Na (a)+CI(aq) ion. lits hydration equation is When a weak electrolyte like CHsCOOH is dissolved in water, it ionizes partially to form an acetate CH,CO0 ion and an H represented as CH,COOH)CHCO0 (aq) +H (aq) Nonelectrolytes like methanol (CHs OH) do not ionize in water.

Explanation / Answer

CuSO4 is a strong electrolyte in water. So the hydration equation is same as that of NaCl which also is a strong electrolyte.

CuSO4 exists as a solid but when mixed with water it ionizes.

The hydration can be written as:

CuSO4(s) --------> Cu2+(aq) + SO42-(aq)
