It is possible. Unless there is ion formation (with the resultant mobility of the charge transferring units), the experimenter should not expect any circuit activity.

Is water an ionic compound that can dissolve only ions?

No. Water is a largely covalent compound that spontaneously ionizes only to give concentrations of 10-7 molar for each of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. However water also has a high dielectric constant and for that reason can dissolve many ionic compounds. Water can also dissolve sufficiently polar organic compounds, such as sugar, with little or no trace of ionic character.


Is the word because a compound word?

No, the word "because" is not a compound word. It is a conjunction that is used to introduce a reason or explanation.


Why is HCl not used to dissolve the steel?

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is not commonly used to dissolve steel because steel is not easily attacked by acids. Steel contains iron, which forms a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion by acids like HCl. Stronger acids, such as nitric acid, are required to dissolve steel.


Does a substance that is insoluble have to be a solid?

Actually, an insoluble substance does not have to be a solid. Think of cooking oil. It is a liquid, however, it does not dissolve in water. Hope I helped!=) -Razzi (Delilah Hope) No an insoluble substance can be solid, liquid or gas. However, trying to dissolve one liquid into another (mixing them together) is referred to as immiscible. Mostly insoluble refers to dissolving a solid or gas into a liquid.


What is the best reason to beileve that sodium chloride is a pure substance?

Refined sodium chloride is a chemical compound formed only from NaCl crystals.


Why some gases dissolve in water?

Gasses dissolve in water because they bond to the water molecules. Gasses like hydrogen will bond with the oxygen in water to create H202 for example.


How do you account for the observed solubility of naphthalene and sodium chloride in water and ether based on the nature of the bonds that exist in them?

The reason why naphthalene can be dissolve in ether and not in water is because of their polarity. Naphthalene is a non-polar molecule. so it can only dissolve with a non-polar molecule.


Why salt can dissolve in water?

The reason why salt cannot disolve in water , is because salt is a mineral, and minerals do not disolve in water.


What determines whether a compound will dissolve in water?

Water is known as a very polar solvent. That is, the molecules have localized area of concentrated electrical charge. The oxygen atoms are regions of (-) charge and the hydrogen atoms are areas of (+) charge. These areas of localized charge want to interact with neighboring areas of opposite charge. So, oxygen atoms tend to form loose bonds with hydrogen atoms on other nearby water molecules. This lowers the energy of the entire system and therefore promotes stability. For this reason any compound that is able to mimic the tendency of a water molecule to interact with another water molecule will ensure that the compound will indeed enter into association with water (that is, dissolve). The occurrence of groups containing local charge on the solute molecule ensure its ability to dissolve in water. Specifically, polar groups such as OH, NH, CO are associated with the ability to dissolve in water. Certainly the occurrence of net charge (+/-) on a molecule that contains an ionizable group (COOH, NH2, PO4, etc) is a good indicator of water solubility.


What is the reason for cool feel after applying shave lotion?

Because it is a substance which will evaporate afterganing heat.


Give reason water is a compound and not a mixture?

A compound is defined by a substance in which the elements that it is made of are in a fixed ratio. In this case the ratio between the hydrogen and oxygen in 2:1. A mixture is a substance in which the elements that make it are not in a fixed ratio


What is the reason that salt is homogeneous?

Because all the elements and compounds are homogeneous and the salt is a compound : NaCl (Sodium Chlorure)
