Can an aqueos solution of NaCl conduct electricity?

Yes, because the solution of NaCl is an electrolyte.


Will NaCl dissolved with glucose solution conduct electricity?

yes


When does sodium chloride not conduct electricity?

Solid NaCl is not an electrolyte; the saline solution or the molten NaCl are electrolytes.


Can glucose and NaCl conduct electricity?

Yes NaCl can conduct the electricity........but i am not sure about Glucose


In what state does NaCl conduct electricity?

NaCl can conduct electricity in the molten state, and when dissociated into its constituent ions in water, Na2+ and Cl-.


Why can NaCl only conduct in a solution?

Conduction of electricity requires the free movement of charged particles, be they electrons or ions. In solid NaCl, the Na+ or Cl- ions are bound to each other in a rigid crystal structure. They cannot move freely, so cannot conduct electricity. In NaCl solutions, the ions exist separately in solution and can move freely; carrying the current.


Why cant NaCl conduct electricity in solid form?

one simple answer is that whan NaCl is solid the ions Na+ and Cl- are not free to move and conduct the electricity. when in a aqeous solution and as a liquid the ions are free to move and the electricity can be conducted. hope this helps


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 1 M NaCl a electrolyte or a nonelectrolyte?

1 M NaCl is an electrolyte because when dissolved in water, it dissociates into Na+ and Cl- ions, which can 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.


What are ion that conduct electricity in solution?

A solution containing ions conduct electricity. They are different for each solution.


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.
