Can dissolved salt separate into sodium and chloride when it has electrical current running through it?

Sodium Chloride dissolved in water will form sodium but sodium reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide, molten sodium chloride will do it .


Does solid sodium chloride conduct an electrical current?

Solid sodium chloride does not conduct electricity because the ions are in a fixed position and cannot move to carry an electrical current. It is only when sodium chloride is dissolved in water or melted that it can conduct electricity due to the mobile ions.


How does the body produce sodium chloride?

The body doesn't produce sodium chloride.


Can sodium chloride produce Electricity?

No, Sodium Chloride cannot produce electricity, but it's often used to produce electricity. Disolve Sodium Chloride in water, which acts as a solvent, and the Sodium separates from the chloride, producing Positive and Negative IONS, that in solution, are called an ELECTROLYTE. These positive and negative ions can now flow to the poles of a battery, and complete a circuit, as an electrical circuit. .


What is the net electrical charge of sodium chloride?

Sodium chloride is neutral.


Why is an electric current needed to form sodium and chlorine from the sodium chloride solution?

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.


Conduction electricity for sodium chloride?

Is an electric current conducted by a solution of sodium chloride?

Yes, an electric current can be conducted by a solution of sodium chloride because it dissociates into ions in water. The positively charged sodium ions (Na+) and negatively charged chloride ions (Cl-) allow the flow of electricity through the solution.
