Question

characterize hf as a strong, weak, or nonelectrolyte. o strong electrolyte o weak electrolyte o nonelectrolyte characterize hbr as a strong, weak, or nonelectrolyte. o strong electrolyte o weak electrolyte o nonelectrolyte characterize ch₃ch₂oh as a strong, weak, or nonelectrolyte. o strong electrolyte o weak electrolyte o nonelectrolyte

Explanation:

1. HF (hydrofluoric acid) is a weak acid. Weak acids only partially ionize in solution, so HF is a weak electrolyte.
2. HBr (hydrobromic acid) is a strong acid. Strong acids completely ionize in solution, so HBr is a strong electrolyte.
3. CH₃CH₂OH (ethanol) is a covalent compound that does not dissociate into ions in solution, so it is a nonelectrolyte.

Answer:

1. HF: weak electrolyte
2. HBr: strong electrolyte
3. CH₃CH₂OH: nonelectrolyte
