Solid sodium chloride is not electrically conductive.
In an aqueous NaCl solution, the electrical current is carried by the movement of positively charged sodium ions (Na+) and negatively charged chloride ions (Cl-). These ions are free to move in the solution, facilitating the flow of electric current.
Yes, an electric current can be completed in NaCl solution because the dissolved ions in the solution can conduct electricity. When an electric potential is applied across the solution, the positively charged sodium ions (Na+) will move towards the negative electrode (cathode) while the negatively charged chloride ions (Cl-) will move towards the positive electrode (anode), completing the electrical circuit.
Yes, copper chloride solution can conduct electricity because it contains mobile ions that are capable of carrying electric charge. When an electric field is applied, the copper ions and chloride ions in the solution can move towards the oppositely charged electrodes, allowing the flow of electric current.
There are several properties that distinguish sucrose from sodium chloride. One is that sucrose melts at around 186ºC whereas sodium chloride melts at around 800ºC. Another property would be that sucrose is a non electrolyte (will not conduct a current when in solution) whereas sodium chloride is an electrolyte and it will conduct a current when in solution.
Phosphorus trichloride (PCl3) is not a conductor of electricity because it is a covalent compound with no free-moving ions or electrons to carry an electric current. It is a nonpolar molecule and does not dissociate into ions in solution.
When an electric current passes through a copper chloride solution, the copper ions (Cu2+) move towards the cathode and get reduced to form solid copper metal. Meanwhile, the chloride ions (Cl-) move towards the anode and get oxidized to form chlorine gas. This process is a type of electrolysis where chemical reactions are driven by the electric current.
Yes, a solution of potassium chloride and water will conduct electricity. When potassium chloride (an electrolyte) dissolves in water, it dissociates into potassium ions and chloride ions which can carry electric current.
This may be a trick question, electrolyis of a sodium chloride solution produces chlorine at the anode but does not produce sodium at the cathode. Electrolysis of molten sodium chloride does however produce sodium and chlorine.
Sodium chloride conducts electricity when in molten or in solution because it dissociates into its constituent ions (sodium and chloride ions) which are free to move and carry electric charge. The movement of these charged particles allows for the flow of electric current.
Electricity is conducted through a solution containing an electrolyte by the movement of ions. The electrolyte dissociates into positive and negative ions in the solution, allowing for the flow of electric current. This movement of charged particles enables the solution to conduct electricity.
Chloride is made from brine by electrolysis. Brine is a solution of sodium chloride in water, and when an electric current is passed through it, the sodium and chloride ions separate. The chloride ions are then collected to be used as a chemical product.
In order to conduct electricity a solution needs ions to carry the current. Sodium chloride contains ions, sugar does not.... So, sugar can't conduct electricity. Sugars are held together by covalent bonds...( very strong) Sodium is held together by Ionic bonds..(easily broken) Renee....Nashville State Community College A&P1
Yes, when sodium chloride is dissolved in water, it forms a conducting solution because it dissociates into positively charged sodium ions and negatively charged chloride ions, which are free to carry an electric current.
In an aqueous NaCl solution, the electrical current is carried by the movement of positively charged sodium ions (Na+) and negatively charged chloride ions (Cl-). These ions are free to move in the solution, facilitating the flow of electric current.
When ammonia and hydrochloric acid are mixed and an electric current is passed through the solution, a chemical reaction occurs that produces ammonium chloride and water. This reaction is known as electrolysis and involves the breakdown of the ammonia and hydrochloric acid molecules into their constituent ions, which then reform to produce the new compounds.
Yes, calcium chloride dissociates into calcium ions (Ca^2+) and chloride ions (Cl^-) when dissolved in water. These ions are charged particles that can carry electric current, allowing the solution to conduct electricity.
Yes, potassium chloride is conductive in aqueous solutions because it dissociates into potassium ions (K+) and chloride ions (Cl-) that can carry an electric current. However, in its solid form, potassium chloride is not a good conductor of electricity.
