What else can I help you with?
Why is molten NaCl rather than solid NaCl used as electrolyte?
The scope is to obtain pure sodium and chlorine.
When does sodium chloride not conduct electricity?
Solid NaCl is not an electrolyte; the saline solution or the molten NaCl are electrolytes.
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.
Is NaCl an elcetrolyte?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte. Water solutions of sodium chloride or molten NaCl are electrolytes.
Why is the electrical conductivity of NaCl different when it is molten or dissolved in water?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte; water solution of NaCl is an electrolyte (also melted NaCl).
What would not be considered an electrolyte a NaCl in water b NaOH in water c solid copper d a hydrochloric acid solution?
The solid copper is a conductor but not an electrolyte.
Why does NaCl in water conduct electricity and not NaCl when it is dry and How is this different from sugar?
1. Water solution of sodium chloride is an electrolyte containing ions as Na+ and Cl-. 2. Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte. 3. Also sugar is not an electrolyte.
Why can't Sodium chloride in a solid state be an electrolyte?
Because in solid state NaCl is neutral, without free ions or electrons.
How is conductivity different in dry and wet sodium chloride?
Solid sodium chloride is not conductive; the water solution of NaCl (or wet NaCl) being an electrolyte is conductive.
Is Na Cl an electrolyte?
Yes, NaCl is 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.
Is NaCl a good conductor?
Sodium chloride is an electrolyte only in water solutions or when is melted. Solid sodium chloride is not a conductor of electricity.
