Explain why a solution of HCl in benzene does not conduct electricity but in water it does?

∙ 13y ago
In a solution of HCL and water, H20 has stronger polar bonds toward HCL causing it to disassociate into H+ and Cl- Ions. Benzene doesnt have those types of polar bonds so HCL doesnt dissolve as readily. (salt and water1 vs. oil and water2.)(the second water acting as benzene would.)

Does sulfur conduct electricity when in aqueous solution?
no it's chemical substance and the ions do not conduct sulphur electricity when in aqueous solution!
Does sugar in solid form conduct electricity?
well technically anything can conduct electricity..... but that doesnt mean it will be easier because of higher and lower resistances.
What solution is form by dissolving ammonia gas in methylbenzene?
Solution will achieve equilibrium and the solution will not conduct electricity.
What kind of particles allow the sodium oxide solution to conduct electricity?
When sodium oxide Na2O is added to water it is converted into sodium hydroxide immediately Na2O + H2O = 2NaOH , the ions Na+ and OH- in aqueous solution are responsible to conduct the electricity.
Solid CaCl2 does not conduct electricity explain why it is considered to be an electrolyte.?
When CaCl2 is placed in water, CaCl2 dissociates, Ca+ and Cl- and ions conduct electricty.
What are ion that conduct electricity in solution?
A solution containing ions conduct electricity. They are different for each solution.
Does covalent substances conduct electricity in benzene?
Benzene is nonpolar and thus will only dissolve nonpolar substances. Covalent substances is vague, but even if benzene were to dissolve nonpolar solutes, they would not conduct electricity because the current has no ions or delocalized electrons to travel across.
How solutions conduct electricity?
A solution containing ions conduct electricity.
What most a solution contain to conduct electricity?
A solution must contain ions, to be able to conduct electricity.
What solution conducts to electricity is called what?
A solution which can conduct electricity is known as an electrolyte.
Does sulfur conduct electricity when in aqueous solution?
no it's chemical substance and the ions do not conduct sulphur electricity when in aqueous solution!
Nacl does the solution conduct electricity?
A solution of NaCl in a solvent in which the cations and anions separate, for example in water, can conduct electricity.
When can an ionic compound conduct electricity?
An ionic compound can conduct electricity when it is in solution or melted.
Does sodium chloride conduct electricity in solution?
In an aqueous solution sodium chloride can in fact conduct electricity. This is because within an aqueous solution ions are free to move while as a solid NaCl will not conduct any electricity
Explain why a substance needs to be either in a solution or molten for electrolysis to work?
Because electrolysis needs a liquid to conduct the electricity.
What do acid solution conduct?
Acid solutions conduct electricity.
Would conduct electricity mixed with water?
A water solution containing ions conduct electricity.
