Can dissolved salt separate into sodium and chloride when it has electrical current running through it?
Sodium Chloride dissolved in water will form sodium but sodium reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide, molten sodium chloride will do it .
Does solid sodium chloride conduct an electrical current?
No. Solid Sodium Chloride does not conduct electricity, unless is melted or disolved in water.
Why is an electric current needed to form sodium and chlorine from the sodium chloride solution?
This may be a trick question, electrolyis of a sodium chloride solution produces chlorine at the anode but does not produce sodium at the cathode. Electrolysis of molten sodium chloride does however produce sodium and chlorine.
Is an electric current conducted by a solution of sodium chloride?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.Sodium chloride in water solutions or molten sodium chloride are electrolytes.
Can sodium chloride produce Electricity?
No, Sodium Chloride cannot produce electricity, but it's often used to produce electricity. Disolve Sodium Chloride in water, which acts as a solvent, and the Sodium separates from the chloride, producing Positive and Negative IONS, that in solution, are called an ELECTROLYTE. These positive and negative ions can now flow to the poles of a battery, and complete a circuit, as an electrical circuit. .
How does the body produce sodium chloride?
The body doesn't produce sodium chloride.
What is the net electrical charge of sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride is neutral.
Conduction electricity for sodium chloride?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrical conductor.
Why can sodium chloride produce light?
Pure sodium chloride crystals are transparent.
What does sodium and chlorine produce?
Sodium chloride
Do sodium chloride crystals conduct electricity?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrical conductor.
What is the balanced equation of sodium chloride to produce sodium chloride?
This is not a correct question.
