In its liquid state NaCl is able to let an electric current pass through it, due to the free moving electrons.

Is sodium and chloride a liquid or solid?

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a solid.


Is NaCl decreases when heated to 90 degree C?

No, NaCl (sodium chloride) does not decrease when heated to 90 degrees Celsius. Heating NaCl at this temperature will not cause it to decompose or decrease in quantity – it will remain the same compound, only in a different physical state (solid to liquid).


How are H2O and NaCl different?

Sodium chloride is an ionic salt, solid. Water is an oxide, liquid at room temperature.


Is NaCl liquid?

At room temperature sodium chloride is a solid.


Is salt a solid liquid at room temperature?

Salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) is a solid at room temperature.


Is there a use for a liquid state of pure NaCL?

Electrolysis of molten Sodium chloride(liquid NaCl), can be used to produce Sodium metal and Chlorine


Is NaCl dissolved in a jar leaving salt behind a chemical change or a physical change?

When NaCl is dissolved in a jar, it undergoes a physical change. This is because the chemical composition of NaCl remains the same, but its physical state changes from a solid to a liquid solution. The salt can be reclaimed by evaporating the liquid and it would still have the same chemical properties as the original NaCl.


When is NaCl solid liquid aqueous?

Sodium chloride is solid under 801 0C and liquid between 801 0C and 1 413 0C. Sodium solid may be in water solutions.


What Name that is given to a solid turned to a liquid when mixed with another liquid?

A solute is the substance disolved in a liquid in solution; it is often solid. For example, NaCl, or table salt, is the solute in a salt water solution.


Why is NaCl solution a good conductor but NaCl solid not?

for the conductance of electricity freely moving ions and electrons are necessary. But in NaCl (in solid form) Na positive ion and Cl negative ion are held together by strong electrostatic force and there is no freely moving ion in NaCl (in solid state) therefore NaCl does not conduct electricity in solid form.


Why does NaCl pass the current in liquid state only?

This is because in solution the NaCl dissociates into Na+ & Cl- ions which get attracted toward oppositely charged electrodes & thus completing the circuit . Hence, the current flows . This can't happen in solid state because in solid state there is lack of free ions & electrolyte {due to absence of water } & hence current can't pass.


Why can't Sodium chloride in a solid state be an electrolyte?

Because in solid state NaCl is neutral, without free ions or electrons.
