A synthesis reaction is a reaction between two compounds in which?
A synthesis reaction forms a new compound from two other separate substances. The new compound is chemically distinct from the substances it was formed from.
In order to conduct an electric current a substance must contain a what?
It should contain some IONS, or charged particles.
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".
What reaction takes place when an electric current is passes through water?
decomposition
An electrolytic cell is different from a voltaic cell because in an electrolytic cell?
an electric current causes a chemical reaction
A synthesis reaction is a reaction between two compounds in which?

What is a solution or substance that conducts an electric current?
It is an electrolyte.
How fast an electric current flow in a circuit?
the ability if a substance to slow down electric current
What is the conductivity of electricity?
conductivity is the ratio of current density to the electric field
A solution or substance that conducts an electric current?
This is an electrolyte.
A substance will conduct an electric current if it?
A substance will conduct an electric current if it forms ions in solution. A solute that produces ions in solution is an Electrolyte. An Electrolytic Solution is a solution that conducts electricity.
What is a process of decomposition?
The process of decomposition of an electrolyte, by passing an electric current from an outside source through it, is known as electrolysis. For example, when an electric current is passed through acidified water, water is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen.
In order to conduct an electric current a substance must contain a what?
It should contain some IONS, or charged particles.
What is a liquid or solid substance or mixture that does not allow an electric current?
an insulator
A substance that carries an electric current when dissolved in water is called?
Electrolyte
Passing an electric current through a certain substance produces oxygen and sulfur This substance cannot be a?
Element.
Which type of chemical reaction takes place when electric current is passed through water?
The process is called electrolysis, and it usually results in a decomposition reaction. For example, passing an electric current through water results in the reaction 2H2O --> 2H2 + O2.
