What else can I help you with?
What properties determine if a solution will conduct an electrical current?
a solution will conduct electricity if there are free ions or free electrons in the solution.
What is an ionic compound that will conduct an electric current when it forms an aqueous solution is a?
This compound is an electrolyte.
What is A substance that conducts an electric current in solution?
A substance that dissolves in solution to conduct an electrical current is an "electrolyte" or, less commonly, an "ionogen".
How does the body conduct an electrical current?
The human body is over 70 percent water. The electron transfer that is the fundamental part of an electrical current uses ions dissolved in solution to conduct the electrical current.
Will a strong electrolyte conduct an electrical current?
Yes, a strong electrolyte will conduct an electrical current when dissolved in water because it dissociates into ions that can carry the charge. This allows the electrolyte solution to conduct electricity.
What is a substance that dissolves in solution to conduct an electrical current?
In a normal battery; Copper and Zinc.
Why do solution containing acids conduct an electric current?
To conduct an electrical current, you need movable charges. In such solutions, those are available in the form of ions.
How does dissolving an ionic compound in water increase electrical conductivity?
When an ionic compound dissolves in water, its ions dissociate and become free to move. These charged ions can conduct electricity by carrying electric current through the solution. The higher the concentration of dissolved ions, the greater the conductivity of the solution.
Which compound BaF2 or CO2 would conduct the larger electrical current when dissolved in water and why?
BaF2 would conduct a larger electrical current when dissolved in water because it dissociates into Ba2+ and F- ions, which are both charged species that can move freely in the solution and carry an electric current. CO2 does not ionize in water, so it does not contribute to conducting electricity.
A compound that does not conduct an electric current in aqueous soltion or in molten state?
A covalent compound with no free ions, such as nonpolar molecules like oil or sugar, would not conduct electricity in aqueous solution or in the molten state. Ionic compounds like table salt or potassium chloride, which dissociate into ions in solution or molten form, can conduct electricity due to the presence of free ions.
Do ionic compound conduct electricity as liquid?
yes.... the ions are broken up and are free to carry an electrical current
What compound dissolves in water but does not conduct electricity?
Sugar is a compound that dissolves in water but does not conduct electricity. When sugar dissolves in water, it forms a solution, but it does not dissociate into ions that can carry an electric current.
