Sodium chloride solution conducts electricity through its bulk by motion of the oppositely charged sodium and chloride ions in it in opposite directions. At the electrodes used to measure conductivity, these ions interchange their electrons with the electrodes.

What does sodium chloride conduct?

Sodium chloride conduct electricity only when is as an electrolyte: in water solution or melted.


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.


Does sodium chloride conduct electricity dissolved in water?

Yes, the solution of sodium chloride is conductive.


Does sodium chloride conduct electricity in solution?

Yes, sodium chloride (table salt) conducts electricity when it is dissolved in water. This is because it dissociates into ions (sodium and chloride ions) in solution, which are able to carry electrical charge and allow the flow of electricity.


Why does aqueous sodium chloride conduct electricity but dry sodium chloride does not?

Aqueous sodium chloride contains dissociated ions which are free to move and conduct electricity. Dry sodium chloride does not conduct electricity because the ions are not free to move in a solid state.


Can sodium chloride that is dissolved conduct electricity?

Yes, a saline solution is a conductor.


Do sodium chloride conduct electricity in soluble?

Yes, in water solution or when is melted.


Why salt and vetsin can conduct electricity in a solution?

Salt (sodium chloride) dissociates into ions (sodium and chloride) in water, allowing it to conduct electricity. Vetsin (monosodium glutamate) likely contains ions that can also dissociate in water, enabling it to conduct electricity in a solution.


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 sodium chloride conduct electricity?

Because in water solution or in the liquid state sodium chloride is dissociated in ions.


Why does a solution of sodium chloride conduct electricity but a sugar solution does not?

In order to conduct electricity a solution needs ions to carry the current. Sodium chloride contains ions, sugar does not.... So, sugar can't conduct electricity. Sugars are held together by covalent bonds...( very strong) Sodium is held together by Ionic bonds..(easily broken) Renee....Nashville State Community College A&P1
