In water salt dissociates into free sodium and chloride ions. Ions have charges which are able to transmit current. In plain salt the ions are bound to each other, creating neutral molecule that is not free to move or transmit current.

What would be least conductive cooper salt water glass or mercury?
Glass
What type of water is English Channel fresh or salt water?
Salt
What is the difference between salt water and regular water?
SALTWATER# Relating to, consisting of, or containing salt water: # Inhabiting or occurring in seawater or salt water: # Done or used in salt water REGULAR WATERsimply the water you are drinking...Salt water contains salt. - Axxo
Is salt water a mixture?
well since it is salt and water i guess it is a mixture
How does fresh water become salt water?
Water is already water so when water goes with water it becomes water then you add salt and water and it becomes salt water so you take your salt water and take your water in the water and mix the water in the water with the salt water it becomes the water in the water with salt water
What does salt do in the electrolysis of water?
It will make the water more conductive and this how it works.......... =)
Could a lighting bolt hit you if you were swimming in salt water?
Yes, water is water and it is conductive regardless if it has salt vs. chlorine in it.
How much salt to make water conductive?
even a bit of salt can make a (tiny) bit of electricity. the more salt, the more electricity
Why do you add salt while connecting an earth-wire?
Salt mixes with water in the earth and makes it more conductive.
is the water salt water or fresh water?
this depends on where the water is, if its in a swamp in the everglades it is considered brackish which is both salt and fresh water, in the ocean the water is salt water, if your at a lake, pond, or stream then it is fresh water, and if you are talking about water in a salt water pool the water isnt really salt water it just has chemicals to have the same effect.
What causes salt water to rust a nail?
The oxygen in the water. This is true for salt water and fresh water. The salt makes the water electrically conductive, allowing slight electric currents to form and speed up the oxidation of the iron.
What would be least conductive cooper salt water glass or mercury?
Glass
Will objects rust more quickly in salt water or plain water without salt?
Salt Water, in short, rusting is the process of forming iron oxide. In short the salt water is more conductive, thus creating a better electrolyte allowing the rust process to occur quicker.
Why salt is called electrolyte?
Sodium chloride (in water solution or molten) is electrically conductive.
Why does salt in water have such a conductivity?
Salt is the ionic compound NaCl. When it is dissolved in water it dissociates (separates) into its ions. These ions can conduct electricity, and thus makes the solution conductive
Why NaHCO3 is a base?
It isnt. it is an acid salt.
Do you ad salt to a salt water pool?
No. salt water is salt water. it already has salt in it
