I'm into something big here /sci/

I need to know a substance thats soluble and that conducts electricity

Please help

>> No.6016865

Any ionic solid.

>> No.6016861

salt?

>> No.6016870

>>6016865

What could be an example of this?

I'm kind of a retard on this topic so all i could think about was maybe tin or lead dust..

>> No.6016874

Are you looking for something that conducts when in the solid form, but dissolves when placed in water?

Something that could dissolve in a liquid substance but could still conduct electricity when said substance turns solid

Lava and almost all metals.

You guys realize that OP intends to make some sort of evaporation-based transistor, right?

>> No.6016915

ssshhh

You'll see it when it revolutionizes the industry

>>6016891
>>6016897

I'll look into these in detail, thanks a lot

>> No.6016922

Also i forgot something

The substance im talking about would remain liquid at normal temperatures

>> No.6016924

>>6016850
Sodium Chloride can do it, according to what I remember of high school fucking chemistry. If you're asking for something that conducts well, then I got nothing.

>revolutionize industry
Someone smarter than you thought of it first and they also figured out why it wont work.
If you're looking for answers on 4chan I guarantee you're not gonna revolutionize anything, except maybe shitposting.

4chan is weird animal.

IMO the most interesting aspect of it is that it collects the ultimate shit, but also the ultimate brilliance.

The problem with consensus sites like reddit is that you are always faced with the common opinion. Here you are faced with the ultimate stupidity and the ultimate brilliance. i.e. you never know.
