Is carbon dioxide an electrolyte

Answer 1

Oh, what a wonderful question! Carbon dioxide is not an electrolyte, it's actually a gas that we breathe out. Electrolytes are substances that conduct electricity when dissolved in water, like salts and minerals. Remember, every question is a happy little accident on our journey of learning!

Answer 2

Oh honey, bless your heart. Carbon dioxide is about as much of an electrolyte as a rock is a salad. Electrolytes are ions that conduct electricity when dissolved in water, and last time I checked, carbon dioxide doesn't fit the bill. Stick to hydrating with some good ol' H2O and leave the carbon dioxide out of it.

Answer 3

No, carbon dioxide is not an electrolyte because it does not dissociate into ions in a solution to conduct electricity. Electrolytes are substances that produce ions when dissolved in water, allowing them to conduct electricity.

Answer 4

In its pure form no- its normally encountered as a gas or as a solid (dry-ice) at some pressures it is a liquid but I do not believ that to be conducting.

In water it dissolves to give carbonate, CO32- and hydrogen carbonate ions, HCO3- so in those circumstances yes it can be considered to be one.

Answer 5

The carbon dioxide (as a dry gas) is not an electrolyte.

Answer 6

CO2 in pure form (gaseous, liquid or solid) is not an electrolyte but its aqueous solution is a weak electrolyte.

Answer 7

1. Liquid carbon dioxide is not an electrolyte.

2. A water solution of carbon dioxide is an elctrolyte because contain the ions H+ and CO3-.

Answer 8

In a water solution some ions exist: H2CO3------2 H++ (CO3)2-.

Answer 9

Carbon dioxide is considered an electrolyte.

Answer 10

No. CO is not an electrolyte.
