Is dry sodium chloride a strong electrolyte?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.
Is sodium chloride a strong or weak electrolyte?
Yes, because acetic acid is a weak acid (therefore it is a weak electrolyte), but NaCl is a salt that ionizes completely. In general salts and strong acids and bases are strong electrolyte, while weak acids and weak bases are weak electrolytes.
What type of electrolyte is sodium chloride?
In water solution or in molten state NaCl is a strong electrolyte.
Why is NaCl a strong electrolyte?
Sodium chloride is a strong electrolyte in solution or melted because is dissociaced in ions Na+ and Cl-.
Solid sodium chloride does not conduct electricity but in molten state conduts electricity readily.Why?
Melted sodium chloride is an electrolyte containing the cation Na+and the anion Cl-.
Why is sodium chloride not a conductor?
Because solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.
Is sodium chloride an elecrtolyte?
Sodium chloride is an electrolyte in solution or when is melted.
Is sodium chloride a strong electrolyte when distilled in water?
Yes, when is dissolved (not distilled) in water or when is melted.
Is sodium chloride eletrolyte?
Water solution of sodium chloride is an electrolyte; also molten sodium chloride.
Why does a mixture of sodium chloride and water conduct electricity but sodium chloride crystal does not?
Sodium chloride solution is an electrolyte containg ions as Na+ and Cl-. Sodium solid crystal is not an electrolyte, is not dissociated.
Why does aqueous sodium chloride conduct electricity but dry sodium chloride does not?
Because sodium chloride solution is an electrolyte, containing ions Na+ and Cl-. Solid NaCl is not an electrolyte.
Why does sodium chloride and water conduct electricity but a sodium chloride crystal does not?
In water sodium chloride is dissociated and the solution become an electrolyte, electrically conductive. The solid NaCl is not an electrolyte.
