Why does aqueous sodium chloride conduct electricity but dry sodium chloride does not?
Because sodium chloride solution is an electrolyte, containing ions Na+ and Cl-. Solid NaCl is not an electrolyte.
Why does NaCl in water conduct electricity and not NaCl when it is dry and How is this different from sugar?
1. Water solution of sodium chloride is an electrolyte containing ions as Na+ and Cl-. 2. Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte. 3. Also sugar is not an electrolyte.
How is conductivity different in dry and wet sodium chloride?
Solid sodium chloride is not conductive; the water solution of NaCl (or wet NaCl) being an electrolyte is conductive.
Why will dry sodium chloride not conduct the electric current?
A substance can only conduct electricity if it contains charged particles (electrons or ions) that are free to move around. In solid sodium chloride, there are ions but these ions are locked into the ionic lattice and are unable to move. Ergo, solid sodium chloride is unable to conduct electricity.
How can you get pure dry crystals of sodium chloride from a solution of sodium chloride in watere?
Evaporating to dryness
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.
Is potassium sulfate a electrolyte?
If it's molten or dissolved in water, it's an electrolyte.
Is dry solid sodium chloride a conductivity of electricity?
Not positive, but fairly sure that solid sodium chloride is not a conductor. Molten sodium chloride is a good conductor.
Why do dry sodium chloride the solutions of sodium nitrate and sodium chloride all impart the same color of the flame?
The (yellow) sodium color is the same in all.
Why does dry sodium chloride and the solutions of sodium nitrate and sodium chloride impart the same colour to the flame?
The color (yellow) is due to the metal ion (sodium), the other element does not participate.
What are the common uses of each of the chemicals sodium chloride ammonium chloride and calcium chloride?
Ammonium chloride is used in fertilizers, calcium chloride is used in many things such as keeping things dry or hard, and sodium chloride is table salt.
Why do sodium chloride ions separate in water?
After the sodium chloride dissolves in the water, the mixture can be filtered and the carbon residue then rinsed with clean water and allowed to dry. The sodium chloride will reform as solid crystals after the water has evaporated from the filtrate.
