Which substance is classified as a weak electrolyte?

  • (A) glucose
  • (B) urea
  • (C) ephedrine
  • (D) sodium chloride
  • (E) sucrose

Click below for Answer and Explanation:

Answer

(C) Ephedrine

Explanation:

  • Electrolytes form ions in water and conduct electricity.
  • Strong electrolytes (e.g., sodium chloride) → fully ionize.
  • Weak electrolytes (e.g., ephedrine) → partially ionize.
  • Non-electrolytes (e.g., glucose, urea, sucrose) → don’t ionize at all.

So, ephedrine is the correct weak electrolyte here.
