Salt often refers to table salt or sodium chloride, however, salt can and does also refer to a class of chemical compounds, Cations from bases and anions from acids. Mercury, silver and lead halides for examples are "salts" and are not water solvable. Many metal carbonates are not dissolved in water, barium sulfate does not dissolve in water. there are others. some will dissovle but only very poorly.

∙ 13y agoYes, a salt is a bunch of molecules held together by ionic bonds. The only thing holding a salt together is the attraction of the opposite charges of the atoms. When placed in water (which is polar) the atoms would separate (ionize) into cations and anions. A salt ionizing in water is just it dissolving.

∙ 12y agoThere is a lot of salt in ocean water but not in fresh water. However, water running down mountains into rivers will usually dissolve tiny amounts of different minerals, including salt.

Which CHEMICAL will ionize when placed in water koh hcl kcl or licl?
Salts dissociate because they are already ionized.Acids and weak bases ionize in water.KOH is a strong baseKCl is a saltLiCl is a saltHCl will ionize in water.
A substance that releases ions in water is?
Electrolytes are acids, bases, and salts, which ionize when dissolved in polar solventssuch as waterRead more: electrolyte
Is sodium bromide ionized or dissociated in an aqueous solution?
Yes, it is an ionic compound of Alkali metal and all alkali metals salts are ionize-able in water.
Ions which allow a solution to conduct electricity are known as?
Salts that ionize in water and form solutions that can conduct a current are called electrolyte.example: sodium chloride,potassium chloride.
Can electricity flow through heavy water?
Electricity can flow through pure heavy water only at sufficiently high voltages to ionize the water. However, heavy water, like normal water, can dissolve salts to produce a solution that conducts electricity.
What is a conducting solution?
A conducting solution is a solution that either conducts heat, electricity or sound. The conductivity of a water solution depends on its concentration of dissolved salts and other substances that ionize in the solution.
When water freezes does the molecules ionize?
No, they do not.
Do acids ionize or dissolve in water Can you explain please?
Acids ionize can dissolve in water it will lower the pH levels. This is does in many things to keep pH levels lower.
Which solutes when dissolve in water will ionize and form a solution that conducts electricity?
An ionic compound. Because an ionic compound is made up of ions that either carry or donate electrons
Does water ionize to form hydroxide and hydronium ions?
yes!
Are salts can be dissolved in the water?
Salts may be soluble or insoluble in water.
Do salts dissociate in water?
Only soluble salts are dissociated in water.
