1. What charged particles make it possible for an electric current to flow through a solution
of a salt in water?
Answers
Answer:
When common salt (NaCl) is dissolved in water, it splits into Na+ and Cl– ions. When an electric potential is applied to this solution with ions, the ions migrate towards oppositely charged electrodes to complete the electric circuit whereas the neutral molecules do not respond to the potential.
Explanation:
In electrolytes, the charge carriers are ions, atoms that have gained electrons so they are negatively charged are called anions, atoms that have lost electrons so they are positively charged are called cations. Thus, ions are charged particles (e.g. Na+ sodium ion or Cl- chloride ion in NaCl solution) and their movement or flow constitutes an electric current, i.e. the electrolyte consists of a stream of moving charged particles.
Hence, in electrolytes, current is carried by both + ve and - ve ions.
