ASemipermeable membrane
BStrong electrolyte
CWeak nonelectrolyte
DColloidal dispersion
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Strong electrolyte
1. Electrolytes differ in how completely they ionise.
2. The process that generates the ions may be essentially 100 percent efficient.
3. That means all of the dissolved compound yields ions.
4. In that case the substance is known as a strong electrolyte.
