Why is sodium chloride better conductor in molten state than in solid state?
In the molten state, sodium chloride exists as freely moving ions that can carry electrical charge, making it a better conductor compared to its solid state where the ions are locked in a fixed position and cannot move freely to conduct electricity.
Why does molten sodium chloride conduct electricity but crystalline magnesium chloride does not?
In the molten state the ions of sodium chloride are free to move. Magnesium chloride would also conduct if it were molten. Since the ions of the magnesium chloride are bound together in the crystal lattice they cannot carry a current.
If you could melt a sample of sodium chloride would you expect it to conduct electricity?
yes, molten sodium chloride may conduct the electricity but is not a good electrolyte.
Why sodium chloride will conduct electricity when molten?
Sodium chloride conducts electricity when molten because the ions in the molten state are free to move and carry electric charge through the substance. In the solid state, the ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move to conduct electricity.
Is aqueous sodium chloride is a good conductor of electric current?
Yes, aqueous sodium chloride solution is a good conductor of electricity. Since, it is an ionic salt, when dissolved in water it dissociates into ions and thus the free ions conduct electricity.
Is dry solid sodium chloride a conductivity of electricity?
Not positive, but fairly sure that solid sodium chloride is not a conductor. Molten sodium chloride is a good conductor.
Is sodium azide a good conductor of electricity?
Not in it's usual solid state. But sodium chloride will conduct electricity of molten or dissolved in water.
Does copper sodium chloride electricity when molten?
Copper and molten sodium chloride are electrical conductors.
Is molten NaCl conducting electricity?
Yes, molten NaCl (sodium chloride) is conducting electricity. When solid NaCl is melted, the ionic bonds between sodium and chloride ions are broken, allowing the ions to move freely in the liquid. These mobile charged particles can carry an electric current, making molten NaCl a conductor of electricity.
Is sodium chloride liquid the best conductor of electricity?
Liquid sodium chloride is a conductor but not the best.
Does NaCl conducts electricity?
Not in its normal, solid form but it will when molten or dissolved in water.
Conduction electricity for sodium chloride?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrical conductor.
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 will molten Sodium Chloride undergo electrolysis?
Molten sodium chloride undergoes electrolysis because it allows the ions to freely move and conduct electricity. When an electric current is passed through the molten sodium chloride, sodium ions are attracted to the negative electrode (cathode) and gain electrons to form sodium atoms, while chloride ions are attracted to the positive electrode (anode) and lose electrons to form chlorine atoms. This process separates the sodium and chlorine, leading to the production of sodium metal and chlorine gas.
Does sodium chloride produce an electrical current?
Sodium chloride in solution or melted is a good conductor of electricity; but sodium chloride doesn't produce electricity.
Do sodium chloride crystals conduct electricity?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrical conductor.
Why is sodium chloride different from sodium chloride crystals in its electricity conductivity?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.Sodium chloride in water solutions or molten sodium chloride are electrolytes.
