Explain why HCl can be a strong electrolyte, but a dilute HCl solution can be a poor conductor?

Because as the concentration is diminished, the capacity to transfer electricity is diminished as well.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since electrolytes are substances that are able to conduct the electricity in aqueous media (solutions in which water is the the solvent) because they have the capacity to form ions with both positive and negative charges, due to the fact that HCl is a strong acid, we notice it is fully ionized in solution and therefore it is a strong electrolyte. However, when the concentration is diminished, we can notice that strength is diminished as well because less ions will have the capacity to transfer the electricity and therefore it'd become a poor conductor or weak electrolyte.

Best regards!

the mantle

explanation:

earth is divided into three layers: the crust or the outermost layer on which we live; the underlying, middle layer - the mantle - and the core (the innermost layer of earth).

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
