The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the principles of chemical electrolytes, here is the classification for each substance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Citric acid (C\u2086H\u2088O\u2087):<\/strong>\u00a0This is a weak acid. Weak acids only partially ionize in water, making them\u00a0weak electrolytes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Sodium citrate (Na\u2082C\u2086H\u2086O\u2087):<\/strong>\u00a0This is a salt. Salts containing alkali metals (like sodium, Na\u207a) are typically soluble in water and dissociate completely into their ions (in this case, Na\u207a and C\u2086H\u2086O\u2087\u00b2\u207b). Therefore, it is a\u00a0strong electrolyte<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Ethanol (CH\u2083CH\u2082OH):<\/strong>\u00a0This is an alcohol, which is a molecular compound. It dissolves in water but does not ionize (form charged particles). Thus, it is a\u00a0non-electrolyte<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Potassium bromide (KBr):<\/strong>\u00a0This is a soluble ionic salt, formed from an alkali metal (potassium, K\u207a) and a halide (bromide, Br\u207b). It completely dissociates into K\u207a and Br\u207b ions in water, making it a\u00a0strong electrolyte<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Hexane (C\u2086H\u2081\u2084):<\/strong>\u00a0This is a hydrocarbon, which is a nonpolar molecular compound. It does not dissolve in water and does not produce ions. It is a\u00a0non-electrolyte<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Here are the answers to fill in the blanks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Citric acid (C\u2086H\u2088O\u2087):<\/strong>\u00a0Weak electrolyte<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Sodium citrate (Na\u2082C\u2086H\u2086O\u2087):<\/strong>\u00a0Strong electrolyte<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Ethanol (CH\u2083CH\u2082OH):<\/strong>\u00a0Non-electrolyte<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Potassium bromide (KBr):<\/strong>\u00a0Strong electrolyte<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Hexane (C\u2086H\u2081\u2084):<\/strong>\u00a0Non-electrolyte<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
