Une solution idéale est définie comme un mélange idéal. Dans de nombreux cas, une solution diluée, dans laquelle la fraction molaire X2 du soluté est comprise entre 0 et une valeur faible, se comporte comme idéale. [...] Les lois de Raoult sont alors valables. Elles ne le sont pas si le soluté est dissocié en ions (solutions électrolytiques) [...] 5, record 1, French, - solution%20%C3%A9lectrolytique

Une expérience simple et amusante permet de faire une solution électrolytique qui polit les pièces en argent. Elle peut alors être présentée aux élèves de façon à démontrer l'utilité des électrolytes dans la vie de tous les jours. [...] Des réactions chimiques se produisent entre la solution de sel et de bicarbonate de soude et la solution d’aluminium. La chaleur transforme en fait l'eau et l'aluminium en une solution d’électrolyte qui produit un courant électrique qui enlève la ternissure sur les pièces de monnaie. 6, record 1, French, - solution%20%C3%A9lectrolytique
