When can an a ionic compound conduct electricity?
When molten or dissolved in water.
Does sulphate conduct electricity?
Dry sulfates generally do not conduct electricity (very well... everything conducts electricity if the potential is high enough).Any ionic compound, including sulfate compounds, will conduct electricity if dissolved in water.
What type of compound ionic or covalent will conduct electricity and dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds generally dissolve in water dissociating to give ions that are free to move and conduct electricity. Molten ionic compounds also have free ions and conduct electricity. Ionic compounds generally do not conduct electricity in the solid form.
Why do ionics compounds dissolved in water conduct an electric current?
When an ionic compound dissolves in water there are free ions which move and carry electric current.
Can sucrose conduct electricity as a solid or in-solution?
Sucrose can not conduct significant electric currents in either solid form or in solution in water, because sucrose does not contain ions in its solid form and does not ionize when it dissolves in water.
If the substance dissolves in water but the solution does not conduct electricity is the substance an ionic compound?
No.
An unknown compound dissolves in water but the solution does not conduct electricity?
If a compound dissolves into water and allows for the conductance of electrical current its said to be ionic and an electrolyte. Sodium chloride (NaCl) or table salt exhibits this property. Sugar is a compound that will dissolve in water but not conduct current. Sugar is not an electrolyte or ionic; rather a covalent molecule.
What mixes with water that can conduct electricity?
An ionic compound dissolved in water is an electrolyte and can conduct electricity.
Why do you think the sodium chloride could only conduct electricity when dissolves in the water?
because water conducts electricity
Why doesn't sugar placed in water conduct electricity?
For a fluid to conduct electricity, it must contain ions. Ions carry electrons through the fluid, making the fluid a conductor. Sugar (C6H12O6) does not conduct electricity because the molecule is non-polar. When it is mixed with water, no ions are formed because water, a polar molecule, will not dissolve this compound by the principle "like dissolves like". Because there are no ions in this mixture, sugar will not conduct electricity.
What is an ionic compound dissolved in water that can conduct electricity?
NaCl
When can an a ionic compound conduct electricity?
When molten or dissolved in water.
Can electricity pass through salted water?
yes electricity can pass through salt water .salt is an ionic compound which can conduct electricity
Does sulphate conduct electricity?
Dry sulfates generally do not conduct electricity (very well... everything conducts electricity if the potential is high enough).Any ionic compound, including sulfate compounds, will conduct electricity if dissolved in water.
What type of compound ionic or covalent will conduct electricity and dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds generally dissolve in water dissociating to give ions that are free to move and conduct electricity. Molten ionic compounds also have free ions and conduct electricity. Ionic compounds generally do not conduct electricity in the solid form.
What is the conductivity of an organic compound in water?
If it is a completely covalent compound, such as sugar, none; if it is ionic, such as acetic acid, it can conduct electricity.
Can calcium carbonate conduct electricity when dissolved?
Calcium Carbonate is insoluble in water, however calcium carbonate itself is an ionic compound and ionic bonds do conduct electricity.
