Is salt water a very good conductor of electricity?
Salt is an ionic substance, meaning it breaks up into ions when dissolved. Salt water has Na+ (sodium) and Cl- (chlorine) ions present in it, therefore being able to carry a charge through the ions. to prove this you could try running an electric current through water, it won't work. but if you dissolve some salt in it and attach a globe to the circiut, the globe will light up :)
Why is salt water a better conducter than fresh water?
The salt separates into ions, and those will carry the current.
Is Salt Water an insulator or a conductor?
salt water is a good conductor of electricity as it contains sodium and chloride ions to carry out current
Can salt pass through visking tubing?
yes it can
WHAT happens when you run salt water through a magnetic field?
You can use a magnetic field to move salt water. Magnetohydrodynamics.
What melts at a high temp conducts electricity and splits up when a current passes through it?
Sodium Chloride (salt)
What measures salt content in salt water chlorine generators?
Salt water is a very efficient electrical conductor, in pool applications the current used is low voltage DC to prevent high voltage AC electrocution. In the chlorine generators electronics circuit board there is a DC current sensor set with a value of -/+. If the salt content is low it takes more current to pass through and an alarm would indicate to add more salt. If the salt content is to high, current passes through to easy and alarm would indicate to remove salt.
When a mixture of sand salt and water is filtered what passes through the paper?
just water and salt
When an electric current passes through water takes place breaking down the compound into hydrogen and oxygen?
Electrolysis of pure water is very slow and not significant; adding an electrolyte (an ionic salt) the electrolysis is a large scale process.
Does salt water flowing through a pipe constitute an electric current?
Salt water is coductive.
What is salt water corrosion?
Is the breaking down of electron in a metal due to chemical reaction which passes quicker through the salt to get to the metal
Why does current pass through salt solution but not through sugar solution?
In order to pass current through a solution you need to have ions in it. Table salt (NaCl) dissolves into Na+ and Cl- ions. Meanwhile sugar does not dissociate into ions in a water solution.
What questions could you ask about Africa?
you could ask "The equator passes through what countries in Africa?" or "The Prime Meridian passes through what countries?" Also "Why is Salt important in Africa?" or "Why are trucks a threat to camels in the African salt trade?" Those are a few questions. If you want more, use your imagination.
What does the salt bridge maintain in a cell?
It closes the circuit, allowing the current to flow throughout the cell. The current flows through the salt bridge because it has charged ions, commonly K+ ions and NO3- , which act as "current- carriers "
Does salt separate hydrogen from water?
No. Salt does not produce any such reaction.
What is salinity measure in?
Two methods to measure salinity are through electrical conductivity and the total dissolving salts (TDS). Measuring the electrical conductivity involves passing a current through a water-salt sample and seeing how much current flow through it. The TDS method requires that of water-salt sample be allowed to dry through evaporation so that the resulting weight of the solid salt residue that is left can be measured.
Can current flow through sea water?
Yes. Salt water is a fairly good conductor of electricity.
