What else can I help you with?
What are the examples of conductors?
Generally metals and ions (in solution) are good conductors of electricity. Eg. iron, copper, nickel, molten sodium chloride, aqueous sodium chloride etc.
Solid sodium chloride does not conduct electricity but in molten state conduts electricity readily.Why?
Melted sodium chloride is an electrolyte containing the cation Na+and the anion Cl-.
Why is sodium chloride different from sodium chloride crystals in its electricity conductivity?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.Sodium chloride in water solutions or molten sodium chloride are electrolytes.
Is Sodium chloride do they conduct electric city?
Sodium Chloride solution (dissolved in water) conducts electricity, and molten Sodium Chloride conducts electricty, but dry crystal Sodium Chloride does not conduct electricity.
Is dry solid sodium chloride a conductivity of electricity?
Not positive, but fairly sure that solid sodium chloride is not a conductor. Molten sodium chloride is a good conductor.
Is molten NaCl conducting electricity?
Yes, molten NaCl (sodium chloride) is conducting electricity. When solid NaCl is melted, the ionic bonds between sodium and chloride ions are broken, allowing the ions to move freely in the liquid. These mobile charged particles can carry an electric current, making molten NaCl a conductor of electricity.
Why does molten sodium chloride conduct electricity but crystalline magnesium chloride does not?
In the molten state the ions of sodium chloride are free to move. Magnesium chloride would also conduct if it were molten. Since the ions of the magnesium chloride are bound together in the crystal lattice they cannot carry a current.
What ways can you alter the state of sodium chloride so that it will conduct electricity?
Water solution of sodium chloride or molten NaCl are conductors.
Why will molten Sodium Chloride undergo electrolysis?
Molten sodium chloride undergoes electrolysis because it allows the ions to freely move and conduct electricity. When an electric current is passed through the molten sodium chloride, sodium ions are attracted to the negative electrode (cathode) and gain electrons to form sodium atoms, while chloride ions are attracted to the positive electrode (anode) and lose electrons to form chlorine atoms. This process separates the sodium and chlorine, leading to the production of sodium metal and chlorine gas.
If you could melt a sample of sodium chloride would you expect it to conduct electricity?
yes, molten sodium chloride may conduct the electricity but is not a good electrolyte.
Why sodium chloride will conduct electricity when molten?
Sodium chloride conducts electricity when molten because the ions in the molten state are free to move and carry electric charge through the substance. In the solid state, the ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move to conduct electricity.
Why is molten sodium chloride good conductor of electricity?
It will separate to NA+ and Cl- Ions when its molten so, Cl will give its e- to anode and Na+ will give an electron from cathode so making gas of chlorine and solid of sodium and the electricity will flow.
