These are two phases (liquid and solid) of the same chemical compound, NaCl; molten salt is dissociated in ions.

What is the difference between molten sodium chloride and brine?

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..


Does copper sodium chloride electricity when molten?

Copper and molten sodium chloride are electrical conductors.


What is the difference between molten and igneous rock?

Molten rock is still a liquid. Igneous rock is what is formed when molten rock solidifies.


What is the difference in meaning of the two terms sodium chloride in its liquid state and a solution of sodium chloride?

Liquid sodium chloride would be salt in its molten state... in solution, salt is dissolved in another liquid, often water..


Is molten NaCl conducting electricity?

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.

Is sodium chloride eletrolyte?

Water solution of sodium chloride is an electrolyte; also molten sodium chloride.


Why molten sodium chloride conduct electricity?

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.


What is the structure of molten sodium chloride?

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.


Why does molten sodium chloride conduct electricity but crystalline magnesium chloride does not?

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.
