What else can I help you with?
Is water highly conductive?
Pure water does not conduct electricity. However, since it is almost impossible to have pure water, anything wet will normally conduct electricity. Water almost always has some salts in it, and that provides the free electrons required to conduct electricity.
What conducts electricity when dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
Is water effective to electricity?
Water itself does not conduct electricity well because it does not contain ions that can carry an electric current. However, if water has impurities or salts dissolved in it, it can conduct electricity to some extent. Pure water is considered an insulator.
Molecular compounds that dissolve in water do not conduct electricity because no?
They do not conduct electricity because they do not dissociate into ions in water to carry an electric charge. Ionic compounds, on the other hand, dissociate into ions in water and can conduct electricity.
Does chlorinated water conduct electricity?
Yes, chlorinated water can conduct electricity because the chlorine ions in the water can carry an electric charge. This can make chlorinated water a conductor of electricity, which can be a safety concern in certain situations.
Can ammonia conduct electricity?
Ammonia is a gas. Gases do conduct electricity, as all materials do. However, they conduct electricity so poorly that we consider them insulators. "Electricity" requires the movement of electrons. In a gas, these electrons are too dispersed to provided any measurable current.
Why cant liquid ammonia conduct electricity unlike aqueous ammonia?
In liquid NH3 there are zero ions to 'transport' charge. In ammonia (NH3 solution in water) there are some (1%) positve NH4+ and negative OH- ions to do so.
Is ammonia an electrolyte or non electrolyte?
Ammonia in water is an electrolyte. It forms ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH), which is a base, and basic solutions are electrolytic.
How is salt different from ammonia glucose water?
Salt is an ionic compound, it forms ions when dissolved in water. An ionic solution conducts electricity; ammonia or glucose dissolved in water will not conduct electricity as they are molecules not ions. Table salt is an ionic compound, NaCl (Sodium ion and Chloride ion)
What mixes with water that can conduct electricity?
An ionic compound dissolved in water is an electrolyte and can conduct electricity.
Would conduct electricity mixed with water?
A water solution containing ions conduct electricity.
Does pure water conduct any electricity at all?
No, pure water does not conduct electricity because there are no other solutions present. For the water to conduct electricity, there has to be an electrolyte. Salt water, Tap water, and sugar water do conduct a little electricity because they contain soluble ionic compounds.
Does water conduct battery electricity?
It doesn't conduct electricity if it is pure water as there are no flowing ions. But in un-pure water electricity can be conducted.
Does water have electricity?
Water itself does not conduct electricity, but it can become a conductor if it contains impurities or ions. This is why pure water does not conduct electricity, but tap water or saltwater can.
Is ammonia an electrolyte?
Yes, ammonia can act as a weak electrolyte when dissolved in water. It can partially dissociate into ammonium ions (NH4+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution, allowing it to conduct electricity to a limited extent.
Does ammonium nitrate conduct electricity?
Ammonia is a gas. Gases do conduct electricity, as all materials do. However, they conduct electricity so poorly that we consider them insulators. "Electricity" requires the movement of electrons. In a gas, these electrons are too dispersed to provided any measurable current. So it does conduct electricity and heat, however conducts them both very poorly ;')
Why is liquid ammonia a non electrolyte but aqueous ammonia an electrolyte?
For the conduction of electricity, the conducting species must be charged either +ve or -Ve. In case of liquid ammonia all molecule are in NH3 form i.e. neutral so it is non electrolyte but it's aqueous solution is get dissociate as NH3 + H2O = (NH4)+ + (OH)- this ammonium and hydroxyl ions are available for conduction of current!
