The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding NaCl, MgCl₂, and CaSO₄, we need to classify these compounds based on their electrolyte types. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the dissociation of each compound - **NaCl**: When dissolved in water, NaCl dissociates into Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions. - **MgCl₂**: When dissolved, MgCl₂ dissociates into Mg²⁺ and 2 Cl⁻ ions. - **CaSO₄**: When dissolved, CaSO₄ dissociates into Ca²⁺ and SO₄²⁻ ions. ### Step 2: Determine the charge on cations and anions - **NaCl**: - Cation: Na⁺ (charge +1) - Anion: Cl⁻ (charge -1) - Type: 1:1 electrolyte - **MgCl₂**: - Cation: Mg²⁺ (charge +2) - Anion: Cl⁻ (charge -1) - Type: 2:1 electrolyte - **CaSO₄**: - Cation: Ca²⁺ (charge +2) - Anion: SO₄²⁻ (charge -2) - Type: 2:2 electrolyte ### Step 3: Classify the electrolytes - **NaCl** is a 1:1 type electrolyte. - **MgCl₂** is a 2:1 type electrolyte. - **CaSO₄** is a 2:2 type electrolyte. ### Step 4: Evaluate the options given in the question 1. **1:1, 2:1, and 2:2 type electrolytes** - This option is correct based on our classification. 2. **Strong, weak, and strong electrolytes** - This option is incorrect because both NaCl and MgCl₂ are strong electrolytes. 3. **Electrolytes with different values of A** - This option is incorrect because the value of A (equivalent conductance) is dependent on concentration and temperature, not on the type of electrolyte. 4. **Electrolytes with same molar conductivity** - This option is incorrect because molar conductivity varies with the number of ions produced in solution. ### Conclusion The correct classification for NaCl, MgCl₂, and CaSO₄ is that they are **1:1, 2:1, and 2:2 type electrolytes**, respectively. ### Final Answer **NaCl, MgCl₂, and CaSO₄ are known as 1:1, 2:1, and 2:2 type electrolytes, respectively.** ---
