The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following compounds is not a strong electrolyte, we need to analyze each option based on their ability to ionize in solution. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Strong Electrolytes**: Strong electrolytes are substances that completely dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. This means they ionize approximately 100%. 2. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **Option 1: NaCl (Sodium Chloride)** - When NaCl is dissolved in water, it dissociates completely into Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions. - **Conclusion**: NaCl is a strong electrolyte. - **Option 2: KNO3 (Potassium Nitrate)** - KNO3 also dissociates completely in water into K⁺ and NO3⁻ ions. - **Conclusion**: KNO3 is a strong electrolyte. - **Option 3: NH4OH (Ammonium Hydroxide)** - NH4OH does not completely dissociate in water. It partially ionizes into NH4⁺ and OH⁻ ions. - **Conclusion**: NH4OH is a weak electrolyte. - **Option 4: FeSO4 (Iron(II) Sulfate)** - FeSO4 dissociates completely into Fe²⁺ and SO4²⁻ ions in solution. - **Conclusion**: FeSO4 is a strong electrolyte. 3. **Identify the Answer**: - Among the options, NH4OH is the only compound that does not completely ionize in solution, making it the correct answer to the question. ### Final Answer: **The compound that is not a strong electrolyte is NH4OH (Ammonium Hydroxide).**
