Yes, molten NaCl (sodium chloride) is conducting electricity. When solid NaCl is melted, the ionic bonds between sodium and chloride ions are broken, allowing the ions to move freely in the liquid. These mobile charged particles can carry an electric current, making molten NaCl a conductor of electricity.
What else can I help you with?
Predict and explain what systems are electrically conducting e solid NaCl f molten NaCl g An aqueous solution of NaCl?
NaCl is non-conducting as a solid, as the ions are held in a fixed position and cannot move to conduct electricity. However, it becomes conducting when molten or dissolved in water, as the ions are free to move and carry an electric charge through the material. This allows for the flow of electricity in the liquid state or in an aqueous solution of NaCl.
2 Predict and explain what systems are electrically conducting a solid NaCl b molten NaCl c An aqueous solution of NaCl?
a) In a solid state, NaCl is an insulator since the ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move to conduct electricity. b) When NaCl is melted into a liquid state, the ions are free to move and can carry an electric current, making molten NaCl an electrical conductor. c) In an aqueous solution of NaCl, the salt dissociates into ions, allowing them to move freely in the solution and carry an electric current, making it a good conductor of electricity.
In what state does NaCl conduct electricity?
NaCl can conduct electricity in the molten state, and when dissociated into its constituent ions in water, Na2+ and Cl-.
When does sodium chloride not conduct electricity?
Solid NaCl is not an electrolyte; the saline solution or the molten NaCl are electrolytes.
Why does NaCl conduct when molten but not when solid?
NaCl conducts electricity when molten because the ions are free to move and carry an electric current. In the solid state, the ions are locked in a fixed position and cannot move to conduct electricity.
What are the names of the particles that carry the charge when electricity flows through molten NaCl and aqueous NaCl?
In molten NaCl, the particles carrying the charge are sodium and chloride ions. In aqueous NaCl, the charge is carried by hydrated sodium and chloride ions.
Why is solid NaCl is a non conductor of electricity?
Solid NaCl does not conduct electricity because its ions are locked in a fixed position and are not free to move. In order for a substance to conduct electricity, it needs to have free-moving charged particles (ions) that can carry an electric current. In the solid state, the ions in NaCl are held in a rigid crystalline structure, preventing them from moving and conducting electricity.
Predict and explain which of the following systems are electrically conducters asolid Nacl bmolten Nacl can aqueous solution Nacl?
Solid NaCl is not an electrical conductor as the ions are held in a fixed lattice structure. Molten NaCl and aqueous solution NaCl are electrical conductors as the ions are free to move and carry charge, allowing for the conduction of electricity.
Does NaCl conducts electricity?
Not in its normal, solid form but it will when molten or dissolved in water.
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 do ironic substances do not conduct electricity in solid state but do so when molten?
Did you mean 'ionic substsnce' ? If yes, then it is common salt, NaCl
In what form does sodium chloride conduct electricity?
For a substance to conduct electricity, it must either have free electrons or have mobile ions. Since in solution NaCl dissociates into Na+ and Cl- ions, it is capable of conducting electricity. In other words, aqueous NaCl conducts electricity. Molten sodium chloride is also a good conductor.
