compare the ionic strength of two common substances, candle wax and chalk?
Asked by rajenderdagar123 | 2nd Jan, 2017, 08:51: PM
Expert Answer:
Chalk is an ionic compound with chemical formula CaCO3.
When dissolved in water it exists in the form of Ca+2 and CO32- ions.
The ionic strength is very less.
Wax is a covalent compound and so it doesn’t dissociate into ions.
And hence the ionic strength will be nil.
