Is muriatic acid a good conductor of electricity?
Muriatic acid is an aqueous solution of HCl. Since this is a strong acid, and it ionizes 100% into H+ and Cl- ions, it would be a good conductor of electricity, i.e. it is a strong electrolyte.
Why is solid salt a non conductor while molten salt is an excellent conductor?
In solution (sodium chloride example) ions as Na+ and Cl- exist.
What bonds is the strongest Na-I or Na-Cl or K-I or K-Cl?
In neurons, ________ ions are at higher concentration inside the cell and ________ ions are at higher concentration in the extracellular fluid. A) Cl; organically bound B) Cl; K C) K; Na D) Cl; Na E) Na; K
What is the ions in NaCl?
NA+ and Cl-
What bond does Na and Cl have?
ionic
Why is solid NaCl is a non conductor of electricity?
Na Cl in solid form is nonconductor because Na and Cl ions are strongly held by electrostatic forces but when dissolved in water or in molten state Na Cl is good conductor of electricity..
Why is molten sodium chloride good conductor of electricity?
It will separate to NA+ and Cl- Ions when its molten so, Cl will give its e- to anode and Na+ will give an electron from cathode so making gas of chlorine and solid of sodium and the electricity will flow.
Is muriatic acid a good conductor of electricity?

How do electrons help the salt be a better conductor of electricity?
Salt in water solution or melted salt are electrical conductors because they contain ions Na+ and Cl-.
In what form does sodium chloride conduct electricity?
For a substance to conduct electricity, it must either have free electrons or have mobile ions. Since in solution NaCl dissociates into Na+ and Cl- ions, it is capable of conducting electricity. In other words, aqueous NaCl conducts electricity. Molten sodium chloride is also a good conductor.
Why is NaCl solution a good conductor but NaCl solid not?
for the conductance of electricity freely moving ions and electrons are necessary. But in NaCl (in solid form) Na positive ion and Cl negative ion are held together by strong electrostatic force and there is no freely moving ion in NaCl (in solid state) therefore NaCl does not conduct electricity in solid form.
State how the body conducts electricity?
Our body is mostly water and it has various solute molecules dissolved in it. Pure water is not a good conductor of electricity but sodium chloride is a dominant extracellular ionic compound which occurs as Na+ and Cl-, ideal situation to conduct electricity. Movement of ions is important in order to conduct electricity through a substance.
What is the content of salt that makes it a conductor?
The positive cation Na+ and the negative anion Cl-
Why will sodium chloride conduct electricity in water?
In water, sodium chloride will dissociate into Na+ ions and Cl- ions. Due to the presence of charges, ions are good conductors of electricity.
Why is NaCl and KI a conductor of electricity?
In dry or crystalline form, salt (Sodium Chloride) is a poor conductor. But when it is dissolved in water, the sodium forms Na+ ions and the Chlorine forms Cl- ions. With these extra ions in the water, it is easy for electrons to be carried through the solution and current to flow.
Why is solid salt a non conductor while molten salt is an excellent conductor?
In solution (sodium chloride example) ions as Na+ and Cl- exist.
What is the reaction of Na Cl -- Na-Cl?
NaCl-----------------Na+ + Cl-is a dissociation reaction.
