These are two phases (liquid and solid) of the same chemical compound, NaCl; molten salt is dissociated in ions.
I believe molten sodium chloride is simply solid NaCl heated to a liquid form, while brine is concentrated NaCl solute dissolved in water solvent, therefore the difference is the absence of water from molten sodium chloride. You may want to cross reference..
Copper and molten sodium chloride are electrical conductors.
Molten rock is still a liquid. Igneous rock is what is formed when molten rock solidifies.
Liquid sodium chloride would be salt in its molten state... in solution, salt is dissolved in another liquid, often water..
Yes, molten NaCl (sodium chloride) is conducting electricity. When solid NaCl is melted, the ionic bonds between sodium and chloride ions are broken, allowing the ions to move freely in the liquid. These mobile charged particles can carry an electric current, making molten NaCl a conductor of electricity.
Sodium chloride is an electrolyte: - in water solution - as molten salt
By electrolysis of Molten Potassium chloride
Water solution of sodium chloride is an electrolyte; also molten sodium chloride.
Molten and Aqueous Sodium Chloride conduct electricity because the ions are free to move where as is a solid they have no free room. This is the same for magnesium chloride. In aluminum chloride and phosphorus chloride the solid doesn't conduct electricity because the ions aren't free to move. In liquid form they have converted into a covalent form, and so don't conduct either. All of the other chloride don't conduct electricity because they have no free ions or electrons when solid or liquid.
In molten sodium chloride the free moving particles are Na+ and Cl- ions, during electrolysis sodium ion moves towards cathode and chloride ion towards anode.
In the molten state the ions of sodium chloride are free to move. Magnesium chloride would also conduct if it were molten. Since the ions of the magnesium chloride are bound together in the crystal lattice they cannot carry a current.
