The following picture represents, select all of the following that best apply

Check the final answer first, then review the worked steps.

Step-by-step solution

The image depicts a light bulb glowing brightly, indicating a strong electrical current. The magnified view shows a high concentration of ions in solution, consistent with a strong electrolyte. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid and a strong electrolyte. Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is a weak electrolyte. CH3CH3 (ethane) is a nonpolar molecule and a non-electrolyte. Therefore, a strong electrolyte like HCl would fit the image, and a non-electrolyte like ethane would not conduct electricity and thus not light the bulb.

Answer

A strong electrolyte, there is a lot of interaction with positive or negative electrodes to continue the electrical current; Based on the image above, one possible aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid would fit this image; Based on the image above, one possible aqueous solution of CH3CH3 would fit this image
