Question

1. A student measures the conductivity of an H2CO3 solution and determines it to be a weak electrolyte. The student incorrectly lists the species in solution as H+, CO3-2. Give the correct list of species in the solution. 2. A student measures the conductivity of a C4H10O (diethyl ether) solution and determines it to be a nonelectrolyte. The student incorrectly lists the species in solution as H+, C+4, O-2. Give the correct list of species in the solution. 1.
