The substance is likely an ionic compound. In its solid phase, the ions are fixed in place within a crystal lattice and cannot move freely, preventing electrical conductivity. However, when melted into a liquid or dissolved in water, the ions are free to move, allowing the substance to conduct electricity efficiently in those phases.
Lithium is a good conductor in its normal ionic state but in aqueous solutions, it forms very large molecule by attracting lots of water ions to itself. Its ionic size in aqueous solution is even greater than the size of cesium ion in water. This increased ionic size in aqueous solution reduces its mobility in the solution and reducing its conductivity.
Muriatic acid is an aqueous solution of HCl. Since this is a strong acid, and it ionizes 100% into H+ and Cl- ions, it would be a good conductor of electricity, i.e. it is a strong electrolyte.
An *aqueous* solution is formed when a substance is dissolved in water. The term "aqueous" stands for the latin word "aqua" which means water.
HI
No. While sodium acetate will form an aqueous solution, the pure substance is not aqueous. If you want to annotate that it is aqueous in a chemical formula, you follow the substance with (aq) in this manner: NaC2H3O2 (aq)
It is a substance that does not readily ionize when dissolved or melted and is a poor conductor of electricity and is a substance that does exist in an ionic form in an aqueous solution.
Sulfur does not conduct electricity in aqueous solution. This is because sulfur in its elemental form is a non-metal and is a poor conductor of electricity. In aqueous solution, sulfur does not exist as an ionic or free electron-carrying species that would allow it to conduct electricity.
Yes, aqueous ammonia is a conductor of electricity due to the presence of ammonium (NH4+) and hydroxide (OH-) ions in solution. These ions can carry charge by moving through the solution, allowing for the conduction of electricity.
No, an aqueous solution of urea does not conduct electricity because urea molecules do not dissociate into ions in water. Therefore, it is a non-electrolyte solution.
Potassium chloride dissociates into ions (K+ and Cl-) in aqueous solution, allowing for the movement of charged particles. This movement of ions enables the flow of electricity, making potassium chloride a conductor in aqueous solution.
They are bonded by ionic bond. They are electricity conductor in molten state or aqueous solution.
Lithium is a good conductor in its normal ionic state but in aqueous solutions, it forms very large molecule by attracting lots of water ions to itself. Its ionic size in aqueous solution is even greater than the size of cesium ion in water. This increased ionic size in aqueous solution reduces its mobility in the solution and reducing its conductivity.
Yes, aqueous sodium chloride solution is a good conductor of electricity. Since, it is an ionic salt, when dissolved in water it dissociates into ions and thus the free ions conduct electricity.
Muriatic acid is an aqueous solution of HCl. Since this is a strong acid, and it ionizes 100% into H+ and Cl- ions, it would be a good conductor of electricity, i.e. it is a strong electrolyte.
A salt, acid or base which can be dissociated in ions in an aqueous solution.
Answer: A sugar solution does not conduct electricity because it does not contain ions. Sugar is not an electrolyte -- a substance which ionizes when dissolved in water.Answer: Sugar, as a non-electrolyte substance, does not produce ions when dissolved in water. A solution of sugar contains molecules of sucrose, but no ions. The absence of ions in a sugar aqueous solution makes it a non electricity conductor fluid.
For a substance to conduct electricity, it must either have free electrons or have mobile ions. Since in solution NaCl dissociates into Na+ and Cl- ions, it is capable of conducting electricity. In other words, aqueous NaCl conducts electricity. Molten sodium chloride is also a good conductor.
