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.
Can sodium chloride conduct in heat?
Sodium chloride (table salt) can conduct electricity in its molten state or when dissolved in water, but not in its solid form. Heat does not directly affect its ability to conduct electricity.
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.
Does sodium chloride conduct electricity in solution?
Yes, sodium chloride (table salt) conducts electricity when it is dissolved in water. This is because it dissociates into ions (sodium and chloride ions) in solution, which are able to carry electrical charge and allow the flow of electricity.
Is Sodium chloride do they conduct electric city?
Sodium Chloride solution (dissolved in water) conducts electricity, and molten Sodium Chloride conducts electricty, but dry crystal Sodium Chloride does not conduct electricity.
What ways can you alter the state of sodium chloride so that it will conduct electricity?
Water solution of sodium chloride or molten NaCl are conductors.
When does sodium chloride not conduct electricity?
Solid NaCl is not an electrolyte; the saline solution or the molten NaCl are electrolytes.
Is sodium chloride an?
Sodium chloride is an electrolyte: - in water solution - as molten salt
Is sodium chloride eletrolyte?
Water solution of sodium chloride is an electrolyte; also molten sodium chloride.
Does sodium chloride crystals conduct electricity?
It cannot as the ions are not free moving and thus there is nothing to carry the charge. However when in its solution form, or melted, there are free moving ions as the bonds have been broken down, and so in an aqueous state it will conduct.
Is sodium chloride an electrolyyte?
Sodium chloride is an electrolyte in water solution or in molten state.
Is sodium chloride an electolyte?
Sodium chloride is an electrolyte: - in water solution - as molten salt
What does sodium chloride conduct?
Sodium chloride conduct electricity only when is as an electrolyte: in water solution or melted.
What is the electrolysis of sodium chloride?
1. The products of the molten sodium chloride electrolysis are sodium and chlorine. 2. The products of the water solution of sodium chloride electrolysis are sodium hydroxide and hydrogen.
Why molten sodium chloride conduct electricity?
Molten and Aqueous Sodium Chloride conduct electricity because the ions are free to move where as is a solid they have no free room. This is the same for magnesium chloride. In aluminum chloride and phosphorus chloride the solid doesn't conduct electricity because the ions aren't free to move. In liquid form they have converted into a covalent form, and so don't conduct either. All of the other chloride don't conduct electricity because they have no free ions or electrons when solid or liquid.
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.
