What else can I help you with?
Is sodium chloride in a liquid form considered an electrolyte?
yes, due the presence of movable free ions.
Is an electrolyte always a liquid?
No, an electrolyte can be a solid, liquid, or gas that conducts electricity by the movement of ions. In common usage, electrolytes are often associated with liquid solutions, such as in batteries or electrolyte drinks, but they can exist in different physical states.
A solution of sodium chloride in water is?
Sodium chloride dissolved in water form an electrolyte: NaCl..............Na+ + Cl-
Why molten sodium chloride conduct electricity?
Molten and Aqueous Sodium Chloride conduct electricity because the ions are free to move where as is a solid they have no free room. This is the same for magnesium chloride. In aluminum chloride and phosphorus chloride the solid doesn't conduct electricity because the ions aren't free to move. In liquid form they have converted into a covalent form, and so don't conduct either. All of the other chloride don't conduct electricity because they have no free ions or electrons when solid or liquid.
Why is NaCl a strong electrolyte?
Sodium chloride is a strong electrolyte in solution or melted because is dissociaced in ions Na+ and Cl-.
Is Liquid sodium chloride is a good conductor?
Yes because this is an ionic compound so when its dissovled in water the ions are free to conduct electricity
What liquid contains sodium and chloride?
Saltwater (or seawater) contains both sodium and chloride ions. Sodium chloride (table salt) dissolves in water to form these ions.
Why can't solid sodium chloride conduct electricity and aqueous sodium chloride can?
Because when sodium chloride is in a solid form it is in a lattice structure, this means the ions are fixed in place. If they can't move they can't carry the electrical current. When sodium chloride is in aqueous form the ions are free to move, therefore they can carry the current. Hope this helps :)
Why - Neither solid sodium chloride nor liquid water are electrical conductors However when sodium chloride dissolves in water it forms a conducting solution-Explain?
When sodium chloride dissolves in water, it dissolves to form the chloride and sodium ions, therefore forming a conducting solution.
Is sodium chloride a liquid at room temperature?
Sodium chloride is not a liquid at room temperature. In fact, it is the chemical name for common table salt, which is a solid.
Can two solids reacts to form a liquid by chemical combination?
Yes, two solids can react to form a liquid by chemical combination. This type of reaction is known as a synthesis or precipitation reaction. An example of this is when solid sodium reacts with solid chloride to form liquid sodium chloride (common table salt) during the process of electrolysis.
What would form a electrolyte solution?
Salt in water is sodium. Ringer's lactate solution (sodium lactate solution and Hartmann's solution), is a mix of sodium chloride, sodium lactate, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride in water. Sodium Chloride is a mix of sodium and chloride.
