Explain why solid sodium chloride does not conduct electricity

Chemistry
1 answer:
aleksandr82 [10.1K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

It does not contain free mobile ions

Explanation:

Solid sodium chloride does not conduct electricity because it does not contain free mobile ions.

  • Although sodium chloride is an ionic compound, in solid state, there is absence of free mobile ions.
  • In aqueous solutions or in molten form, ionic compounds can conduct an electric current using free mobile ions as carriers.
  • Therefore, they are electrolytes.

In solid state ions are arranged into crystal lattice and will not conduct a current of electricity.

NiB13 + Al2S3&gt;? What is the product you get from these 2 reactants. It’s a double replacement equation.
fgiga [73]

Answer:

NiBr₃ + Al₂S₃ ⇒ NiS₃ + Al₂Br₃

Explanation:

A double replacement reaction is a reaction in which the cations switch anions.

In the reaction, the two cations are Al and Ni. The cations are Br and S.

Put each cation with the opposite anion: Ni with S and Al with Br.

The products would be NiS₃ and Al₂Br₃.

The full reaction is NiBr₃ + Al₂S₃ ⇒ NiS₃ + Al₂Br₃.

Hope that helps.
