Classify methanol (ch3oh) as a strong electrolyte, a weak electrolyte, or a nonelectrolyte.

Explanation:

A strong electrolyte is defined as the one which contains solute that completely dissociates into ions. Strong acids will lead to the formation of strong electrolytes.

For example, HCl will make a strong electrolyte.

Whereas a weak electrolyte is defined as the one which contains solute that slightly dissociates into ions.

For example, is a weak electrolyte.

This is because methanol when dissolved in water does not completely dissociates into ions. Therefore, very less number of ions are present into the solution and as a result, the solution will not be able to conduct electricity.

Also, oxygen atom being more electronegative in nature will hold the hydrogen atom of O-H more tightly, Hence, very less or no hydrogen ions will not present into the solution.

Therefore, we can conclude that methanol is a weak electrolyte.
