Salt water is a good conductor. When salt is dissolved in water, which of following explains why it becomes a good conductor?
a
The salt dissolving generates a large amount of heat which is used to carry current
b
The salt dissolving require physical mixing to move the charges
c
The salt dissolving breaks down the insulating molecules of the water
d
The salt dissolving frees the electrons in the solution, allowing them to move freely
d. The salt dissolving frees the electrons in the solution, allowing them to move freely
Well, sort of
NaCl ----> Na+ and Cl-
charged ions
so the charged ions will move in an electric field.
