Why not aqueous solution of sodium chloride used instead of molten?

Aqueous solutions indicate that the substance is dissolved in water, whereas molten is where the substance is pure, so there is no water.

2 Predict and explain what systems are electrically conducting a solid NaCl b molten NaCl c An aqueous solution of NaCl?
molten NaCl and An aqueous solution of NaCl will be conducting due to the presence of free ions in these.
Predict and explain what systems are electrically conducting e solid NaCl f molten NaCl g An aqueous solution of NaCl?
The aqueous and molten solutions are electrically conducting
Is an electric current conducted by a solution of sodium chloride?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.Sodium chloride in water solutions or molten sodium chloride are electrolytes.
A compound that does not conduct an electric current in aqueous soltion or in molten state?
A compound that does not conduct an electric current in aqueous solution or in molten state is a covalently bonded compound. It could also be called a "non-ionogen".
Is sodium chloride a liquid gas solid or aqueous?
Sodium Chloride is not a gas solid. It is in crystalline form which when heated, becomes molten. It never evaporates to give Sodium Chloride gas i.e. NaCl.
What is electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride?
Sodium metal can be obtained by electrolysis from molten mixture of sodium chloride and calcium chloride in Down's cell. The metal can not be obtained by electrolysis from aqueous solution, because hydrogen will evolve instead.
What is a electrolyte carbon dioxide sodium chloride distilled water or hydrogen peroxide?
sodium chloride (in aqueous solution or in molten state) is an electrolyte.
Why does potassium chloride conduct electricity?
Potassium chloride is an ionic solid, the ionic solids can conduct the electricity if they are in molten state or in aqueous solution.
What are the examples of conductors?
Generally metals and ions (in solution) are good conductors of electricity. Eg. iron, copper, nickel, molten sodium chloride, aqueous sodium chloride etc.
Why do you use molten NaCl in electrolysis instead of an aqueous solution of NaCl?
Molten salt electrolysis is used to obtain sodium and chlorine. Electrolysis of the water solution is used to obtain sodium hydroxide and hydrogen.
Is electrolytes made of NaCl?
Any solution that conducts electricity is called an electrolyte; salt water, also known as an aqueous solution of NaCl, is a type of electrolyte, although certainly not the only type.
Are there forms in which sodium chloride conducts electricity?
In order to conduct electricity, sodium chloride has to separate into its ionic forms (sodium ions and chloride ions). It does this in a water (aqueous) solution and also when in molten form, which is when heated above 801 °C.
Why sodium chloride is not in the aqueous state?
The reduction potential of sodium is under the same potential of water.
Why does sodium chloride conduct when molten or in solution?
It conducts due to the presence of free ions in molten and solution state.
Is sodium chloride an?
Sodium chloride is an electrolyte: - in water solution - as molten salt
Why is hydrogen collected at cathode instead of sodium during the electrolysis of sodium chloride?
When an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide is electrolyzed, hydrogen is produced at the cathode because hydrogen can be produced at a lower voltage than can sodium, and the supply of hydrogen from the water of the solution is sufficient to consume all the current supplied. When molten sodium chloride is electrolyzed, however, sodium is produced at the cathode.
