    This document provides information for a chemistry lesson on strong and weak electrolytes for 11th grade students taking CSEC exams. The lesson objectives are for students to distinguish between strong and weak electrolytes based on their degree of ionization and to perform experiments to differentiate the two. Key points are that ions or electrons must be present for electricity to be conducted and the electrolyte undergoes a chemical change. Students will examine the effect of electricity on dilute solutions and determine which are strong or weak electrolytes based on brightness of a bulb in a circuit.

    Subject: Chemistry Type of Lesson: Guided Discovery.

    Grade: 11 CSEC OBJ: Students should understand the


    conditions under which an electrical
    current can be used to bring about a
    chemical change.
    Term: IV UNIT: Electrochemistry
    Duraton: 4 minutes. Lesson: ! Strong and !ea" Electrolytes
    "ee#: $
    Objectives
    #s a result o$ this lesson% the student will be able to:
    1& distinguish between a strong and wea" electrolyte based on the degree o$ ioni'ation.
    (& )er$orm e*)eriments to distinguish between strong and wea" electrolytes.
    Prerequisite Student Knowledge
    Students should be $amiliar with:
    1) #n electrolyte is a molten substance or an ionic solution that is decom)osed when an
    electric current is )assed through it.
    Important Points
    Im)ortant )oints in this lesson:
    1& Ions or electrons must be )resent $or electricity to be conducted.
    (& +he electrolyte undergoes a chemical change during the )rocess.
    ,& Substances will conduct electricity to varying degrees.
    Key Terms
    Strong electrolyte !ea" electrolyte Ioni'ation
    Challenge Areas
    !hy are some electrolytes considered to be strong and others wea"- Com)ile a list o$ strong and
    wea" electrolytes.

    #ote to Teacher
    In this lesson% students will determine whether an electrolyte is wea" or strong based on the
    brightness o$ the bulb in the e*)eriments )er$ormed.
    Teacher$s %esson #otes
    Introduction
    1& Introductory %ct&ty
    a. +he teacher will demonstrate the e$$ect o$ electricity on two substances labeled #
    and 4% using a sim)le electrical circuit.
    i. Students will be as"ed to )ay close attention to the brightness o$ the bulb
    in each reaction.
    ii. Students will be as"ed to share which o$ the substances would be
    considered wea" or strong% giving reasons $or their answer.
    b. +eacher will e*)lain that the substance that gave the brighter bulb would be
    considered a strong electrolyte. +he other would then be considered wea".

    a. In grou)s o$ two students will e*amine the e$$ect o$ electricity on dil. /a0.% dil.
    10.% a2ueous ammonia% and distilled water.
    i. Students will state which o$ the substances would be classi$ied as wea" or
    strong. +hey must be able to su))ort their choice with a reason.
    b. +he strong electrolytes are considered such because they ioni'e or $orm ions
    com)letely. +he wea" electrolytes are considered such because they are )artially
    ioni'ed.
    Closure
    In)C(ass %ss'nments
    1& Students will write their own de$inition o$ a strong electrolyte% a wea" electrolyte and
    ioni'ation.
    Out)of)C(ass %ss'nment
    1& !hich statement about conduction o$ electricity is correct- !hichever statement is incorrect%
    rewrite the statement so that it is correct.
    i. Electricity is conducted in a2ueous solution by electrons
    ii. Electricity is conducted in a metal wire by ions.
    iii. Electricity is conducted in a molten electrolyte by electrons.
    iv. Electricity is conducted in an acid solution by ions.
