Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?
because of the gravity or Magnetricity
Why do ionics compounds dissolved in water conduct an electric current?
When an ionic compound dissolves in water there are free ions which move and carry electric current.
Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in the liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?
because when the ions can move around freely, they can conduct electricity better
Will sugar dissolved in water conduct electric currant?
Yes, it will conduct electric current much better than plain water. The sugar molecules in water form a clear solution by ionization facilitating the path of electrons of electric current.
How are acids that have been dissolved in water able to conduct an electric current?
i don't know ( In the book )
Which will conduct electric current aluminum foil sugar or potassium hydroxide dissolved in water?
Aluminium foil and potassium hydroxide in water solution are conductors.
Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in the solid phase liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid plase?
In solid state the ions are packed very tightly, so ions are not free to move, therefore no conduction.
Does water conduct an electric current?
Yes it does.
Which Substance When Dissolved in Water will Conduct an Electrical Current?
These are the ionic substances.
A substance that carries an electric current when dissolved in water is called?
Electrolyte
Is dirty water a conductor?
That depends on the kind of polution. If it is polution with (for instance) pure sand or sugar it does not conduct electricity. These kinds of polution do not decompose when dissolved. If the polution consists of salts that are dissolved in the water, than it certainly does conduct electricity. This comes from the fact that the dissolved salt decomposes in positive and negative ions. If an electric current is plave inside the basin, these ions will travel to the opposite electric pole. This movement of charged particles is an electric current. It is hard to say if the current travelling through poluted water is dangerous, or not. This depends of course on the strength of the current as well as the concentration of the polution.
When calcium chloride is dissolved in water will it conduct electricity?
Yes, test with a electric multy meter
