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.

How many molecules of CO2 are equivalent to 112g CO2 scientific figures
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

N(CO2) = n(CO2) x Avogadros constant

n(CO2) = mass(CO2)/Molar mass(CO2) = 112/44 = 2.5454….

N(CO2) = 2.545454… x (6.02 x 10^23) = 1.5323636 x 10^24

Therefore, the number of CO2 molecules in 112 g of CO2 = 1.53 x 10^24 molecules
