how is salt a good conductor of heat ?

Salt itself is not a good conductor of heat but solution of salt in water conducts heat.Salt water is a good conductor because it is an ionic compound. When dissolved, it breaks up into ions. The ions are then good charge carriers, which is what electricity needs.

salt is not a good conductor of heat. saltwater is a good counductor of heat as:

Saltwater is a good conductor of electricity because it is an ionic solution. The mobile ions can act as charge carriers which allow an ionic solution to support current flow. Salt is an ionic substance, meaning it breaks up into ions when dissolved and it has Na+ (sodium) and Cl- (chlorine) ions present in it, therefore being able to carry a charge through the ions.

Hey, actually salt is neither a good conductorof heat nor electricity. Salt when dissolved in water roduces ions and thereby salt water is a good conductor of heat as well as elecctricity.

salt has many impurities

thats why when it is dissolved in distiiled water

the water become impure and conduct electricity

like it
