Can sodium chloride that is dissolved conduct electricity?
Yes, a saline solution is a conductor.
Is potasium chloride a good conductor of electricity?
When dissolved in water it is an excellent conductor. In solid form it isn't.
Is calcium chloride a good conductor of electricity?
It is a good conductor when melted or dissolved in water, but not when solid. This is because it is an electrolytic conductor, and can only carry electricity when its ions are free to move.
Is salt a conductor?
Sodium chloride is an electrical conductor only in solution or when is melted.
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.
What is a Good conductor of electricity when mixed with water?
Soluble ionic compounds are excellent conductors of electricity when dissolved in water - such as sodium chloride (common salt)
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 NaCl conducts electricity?
Not in its normal, solid form but it will when molten or dissolved in water.
Does sodium chloride conduct electricity when it is dissolved?
Sodium chloride when dissolved in water forms an electrolyte that conducts electricity.
Is Magnesium Chloride a good conductor?
Magnesium chloride is a good conductor if melted or dissolved in an ionization promoting solvent; as a solid it is not a good conductor.
Is sodium chloride liquid the best conductor of electricity?
Liquid sodium chloride is a conductor but not the best.
What is a good electrical conductor when mixed with water?
Soluble ionic compounds are excellent conductors of electricity when dissolved in water - such as sodium chloride (common salt)
