What else can I help you with?
What is the electrical conductivity of salt?
Salt (NaCl) is a poor conductor of electricity when it is in solid form because its ions are held in a fixed position. However, when salt is dissolved in water or molten, it dissociates into its constituent ions (Na+ and Cl-) which can conduct electricity due to the movement of charged particles.
What is the first dissolve in water rock salt or table salt?
Table salt.
Can salt substitute conduct electricity?
Not as a solid, but if molten or dissolved in water it can. This is the typical case for an ionic compound. Salt substitute usually consists of potassium chloride, which is very similar to table salt (sodium chloride).
How do you make table salt?
You grind a bit of wood off the table and mix it with ordinary salt, voila you have table salt!
Can electricity pass through water?
Yes. With great difficulty if the water is totally pure. Much easier if there are impurities/minerals in the water. Like gangbusters with a pinch of salt added to the water.
Why is table salt is poor conductor of electricity?
Table salt is neutral and not ionized, making it a poor conductor of electricity. Salt ionizes in water and an electric current is conducted easier because of the different charges floating around.
Does electricity go through water?
it will conduct eletricty but it's a better conducter in salt water
Study of water as conductor to replace copper as wire?
Pur H2O,water will be poor conducter .High density Salt water,may work.
What does table salt have to dissolved in to be able to conduct electricity?
Table salt does not absolutely have to be dissolved in any solvent to conduct electricity, because it will do so if melted. The solvent if present must be one in which the salt ionizes, with water being the most common example.
Explain why solid table salt is a poor conductor of electricity while salt water is a good conductor of electricity?
Table salt is an ionic compound formed from Na+ and Cl-, but in its solid state it is bound in a lattice (a kind of scaffold) that does not allow electrons to flow. Once dissolved in water, the ions separate; therefore, it is easy for the electrons to travel through the solution, jumping off each ion temporarily. An interesting fact is that pure water is a poor conductor. The only reason why water and electricity is a bad idea is that the tap water we receive contains many ions, which allow the flow of electricity. As "MythBusters" showed us: making toast while taking a bath is a bad idea.
Liquds like water that are insulators of electricity?
More often than not we consider water to be a conducter (allow the flow of electricity). This is due to minerals in water (i.e. dissolved salt). Deionized (also known as demineralized) water is actually an insulator.
Is sugar solution a good conductor?
no salt solution is the conductor of electricity as sugar doesn't have as great an ionization as table salt
Why is salt water a better conducter than fresh water?
Salt water is a better conductor of electricity than fresh water because it contains ions (charged particles) from dissolved salts. These ions allow electric currents to flow more easily through the water compared to pure water, which has fewer ions and therefore has higher resistance to electricity.
Is table salt a strong or weak or non-electrolyte?
Table salt is an electrolyte due to its ionic bonding. It will completely dissolve in aqueous solutions and is capable of conducting electricity.
Is table salt a salt?
Table salt is a salt - sodium chloride (NaCl).
What is the electrical conductivity of salt?
Salt (NaCl) is a poor conductor of electricity when it is in solid form because its ions are held in a fixed position. However, when salt is dissolved in water or molten, it dissociates into its constituent ions (Na+ and Cl-) which can conduct electricity due to the movement of charged particles.
Can rock salt be used as table salt?
Rock salt and table salt are both sodium chloride - NaCl; table salt is the pure form of rock salt.
