What about water with salts or strong acids or strong bases dissolved in it?paraskevi said:Hi, I am not a Chem student but I have a few questions.
I am looking for a non flammable chemical that is also conductive.Liquid form preferred!
Multiple suggestions appreciated...
In the USA, mercury is banned from most or all retail products due to the toxicity of methyl mercury.wil3 said:.I agree with lightarrow that a liquid metal is handy. Mercury is used in some orientation switches because of its low viscosity and high conductivity.
Non-flammables are materials that do not easily catch fire or burn. They are different from flammable materials because they have a higher ignition temperature and do not release flammable vapors.
Materials such as water, sand, and most metals are considered non-flammable. Some chemicals, such as halon and carbon dioxide, are also non-flammable.
Non-flammable materials do not affect conductivity as they do not contain any volatile substances that can interfere with the flow of electricity. In fact, some non-flammable materials, such as metals, are good conductors of electricity.
No, not all non-flammable materials are non-conductive. While most metals are both non-flammable and good conductors of electricity, some non-flammable materials, such as glass and rubber, are insulators and do not conduct electricity.
While non-flammable materials are generally considered safe, it is important to note that they can still pose hazards if used improperly. For example, some non-flammable chemicals can be harmful if ingested or inhaled. It is always important to follow proper safety precautions when handling any type of material.
