Is H2S04 a non electrolyte?
No H2SO4 (sulphuric acid) dose conduct electricity. in general, acids conduct electricity. Strong acids are strong conductors of electricity.
Are substances which when dissolved in water will not conduct an electric current?
An insulator is the general term for things that do not conduct electricity. Rubber is a good example. Glass, paper and teflon are also other good examples of insulators. It is too broad to point out a specific type. I would have been inclined to say a polymer, (i.e. plastics) but conducting polymers have very popular use as conductors.
Why is liquid HCL a poor conductor of electricity?
For the conductance of electricity through chemical substances there must be free ions, and HCl gas do not have any free ions, though when it is in water it is in its ionic form and conducts electricity.
What characteristic do solid ionic compounds share?
In general, they are hard, brittle crystals that have high melting points. When they are dissolved, they can conduct electricity.
Will anions alone in a solution conduct electricity or do both anions and cations need to be present?
Anions alone in a solution could conduct electricity, if they were in contact with suitable electrodes. In general, however, anions alone in solution cannot exist for long, because the electrical potential of the resulting solution would be too high to be stable. One of the few practical exceptions occurs when cations can not dissolve because they are part of a polymer that has too high a molecular weight to be soluble in water, but the anions are soluble. If a polymer of this type is made into a thin and porous membrane, the anions can conduct electricity through the membrane, but only between the membrane and (i) an electrode or (ii) a solution that contains both anions and cations.
Does black pepper conduct electricity?
yes it does, because black pepper has ions for it to conduct electricity.
Will coconut oil can conduct electricity?
No, in general oils do not conduct electricity.

Can hydrocarbon mixture conduct electricity?
As there are no free electrons to carry the electric current, hydrocarbons cannot conduct electricity (whether molten or not).
Can aluminum awning conduct electricity?
Metals in general are very good electricity conductors. So yes, aluminum can conduct electricity, so I wouldn't wire any electricity to the awning unless you know what you are doing.

Does acid conducts electricity?
Acid is a general term reffering to a lot of different substances, Some acids conduct electricity but very weakly, But in general acids are not good conductors.
What characteristic do solid ionic compounds share?
In general, they are hard, brittle crystals that have high melting points. When they are dissolved, they can conduct electricity.
Can a sold conduct an electric current?
Solids can definitely conduct electricity -- like copper wires. It is a general property of metals.

Does aluminum conduct electricity?
Yes it does.Yes better than tin/aluminum foil. Im currently using it for my xbox360 controller.
