The mobility of ions in a molten salt allows the two types of ions present to move in opposite directions in an electric field and thereby conduct electricity, whereas in solid salts, the barriers to migration of the ions are too great.

Is an electric current conducted by a solution of sodium chloride?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.Sodium chloride in water solutions or molten sodium chloride are electrolytes.
What is the correct name of the compound CaCl2x6H2O?
The correct name for the compound CaCl2 6H2O is Calcium Chloride Hexahydrate.
Why will molten Sodium Chloride undergo electrolysis?
Molten sodium chloride consists of sodium ions and chloride ions and is therefore a conductor of electricity- and can be electrlysed.
Which is more expensive sodium chloride or calcium chloride?
The price is higher for the calcium chloride.
What are the effects of water in calcium chloride?
calcium chloride will dissolve in water
Which is strong electrolyte potassium chloride or calcium chloride?
Both potassium chloride and calcium chloride are strong electrolytes when dissolved in water or when molten.
Why salt is called electrolyte?
Sodium chloride (in water solution or molten) is electrically conductive.
Is an electric current conducted by a solution of sodium chloride?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.Sodium chloride in water solutions or molten sodium chloride are electrolytes.
Is barium chloride conductive?
Not in its usual solid state. But like other ionic compounds calcium chloride will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.
Why calcium is obtained by electrolysis of molten calcium chloride rather than its solution?
if done in water solution, the extracted calcium would immediately react with the water to form calcium hydroxide.
If a substance can conduct electricity and has neutral pH what kid of substance is it?
Sodium chloride, NaCl, for example is of neutral pH and conductive in solution or in molten state. It is a salt.
Difference between calcium chloride and fused calcium chloride?
The difference of calcium chloride and fused calcium chloride is the bond acting on their molecules. The fused calcium chloride is fused while the calcium chloride is not fused.
What is the correct name of the compound CaCl2x6H2O?
The correct name for the compound CaCl2 6H2O is Calcium Chloride Hexahydrate.
Is NaCl conductive?
Not as a solid, but dissolve it in water and the ions help electricity conduct through the saltwater. Totally pure water will hardly conduct electricity. The impurities in the water are what allows current to flow.
Does copper sodium chloride electricity when molten?
Copper and molten sodium chloride are electrical conductors.
Is ammonium chloride conductive?
yes
Will calcium chloride react with chloride?
Calcium chloride will not further react with chloride ions.
