"On whether potassium acetate is a strong electrolyte"

The genus of Guanfu electrolytes can be divided into strong and weak electrolytes. Strong electrolytes can completely ionize into ions in aqueous solution or in the molten state, and their electrical conductivity is very good. For potassium acetate, whether it is a strong electrolyte or not can be explored in detail.

Potassium acetate, its chemical formula is $CH_ {3} COOK $. In water, potassium acetate can ionize, and its ionization equation is $CH_ {3} COOK = CH_ {3} COO ^{-} + K ^{+}$ 。 Potassium ions $K ^ {+} $and acetate ions $CH_ {3} COO ^ {-} $can move freely in water.

Although acetate ions will undergo a certain degree of hydrolysis, $CH_ {3} COO ^{-} + H_ {2} O\ rightleftharpoons CH_ {3} COOH + OH ^{-}$ ， However, the degree of hydrolysis is relatively small. In general, potassium acetate exists mostly in the form of ions in aqueous solutions, so its degree of ionization is quite high.

Furthermore, in the molten state, potassium acetate can also be completely ionized into ions. Therefore, potassium acetate should be classified as a strong electrolyte. Because it can be fully ionized in aqueous solution and molten state, a large number of free-moving ions are generated, which has good electrical conductivity.

In summary, potassium acetate is indeed a strong electrolyte.
