Which substance when added to water makes the solution a good conductor of electricity?
By increasing diameter of the wire , reducing length and using a wire of good quality , we can increase the conductivity.
What was the effect of adding more salt to water?
saltier water.
Why does salt in water have such a conductivity?
Salt is the ionic compound NaCl. When it is dissolved in water it dissociates (separates) into its ions. These ions can conduct electricity, and thus makes the solution conductive
What is the temperature if you put salt in water?
Adding salt does not effect the temperature.Answer:Adding salt does not change the temperature at the time you add the salt, but it raises the temperature at which the water will boil
How does adding salt to water effect evaporation?
The salt added to water makes the water colder so salt water evaporates slower than just plain fresh water.
What does adding salt to water do?
There are several effects of adding salt to water: 1. The boiling point will increase. 2. The freezing point will decrease. 3. The water's conductivity may change.
Will water volume be increased by adding salt?
Yes , the volume of water will increase if salt is added , as salt is a solute and water is a solvent. When salt is added , it affects the weight of molecules and the liquid itself.
Which substance when added to water makes the solution a good conductor of electricity?
By increasing diameter of the wire , reducing length and using a wire of good quality , we can increase the conductivity.
When a soluble metallic salt is added to water its electrical conductivity decreases?
No. Its electrical conductivity increases because the positive and negative ions of the salt dissociate in the water.
Why would the bath water have electrical conductivity?
Pure water has extremely low conductivity but any dissolved salts in the water increase its conductivity. Sea water with 3% salt has a high conductivity of 5 S/m.
What will conduct electricity when mixed with water?
Water will conduct electricity if salt NaCl is dissolved in it. The conductivity is proportional to the salt concentration, and 3% gives a conductivity of 5 S/m, as in sea water.
Why do oceanographers take measurements of the conductivity of the seawater?
Conductivity can be used to calculate the salinity of the water.
How do you make salt water denser?
you make salt water denser by adding more salt to the water
Were can you get salt water for fish?
make it yourself by adding some salt to water!
What does dissolving salt in water have to do to the conductivity of the water?
it does'nt do anything it just makes it tast salty
How does adding salt to water affect the way water changes temperatures?
Adding salt to water rises its boiling point but lowers the melting point
Is adding salt to water a new product?
Adding a salt to water we obtain a solution (a homogeneous mixture) not a new chemical compound.
