Which type of water conducts electricity salt water or fresh water?
Both conduct electricity well, however salt water is a better conductor due to ions available.
Is a water a conductor or an insulator of electricity?
Pure water, that is to say without any other substances, actually does not conduct electricity. Water with impurities, on the other hand, does conduct electricity. Since water is usually impure, common water conducts electricity.
Is water highly conductive?
Pure water does not conduct electricity. However, since it is almost impossible to have pure water, anything wet will normally conduct electricity. Water almost always has some salts in it, and that provides the free electrons required to conduct electricity.
What conducts electricity when dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
Why does water conduct electricity while air does not?
AiR also conduct electricity,like wind power plant.Air has moisture which help it to generate electricity
Which type of water conducts electricity salt water or fresh water?
Both conduct electricity well, however salt water is a better conductor due to ions available.
Can sodium chloride that is dissolved conduct electricity?
Yes, a saline solution is a conductor.
How do water conduct electricity?
Water can conduct electricity. I know this because when it rains water can spin a turbine which power electricity from movement
Would conduct electricity mixed with water?
A water solution containing ions conduct electricity.
What mixes with water that can conduct electricity?
An ionic compound dissolved in water is an electrolyte and can conduct electricity.
Does pure water conduct any electricity at all?
No, pure water does not conduct electricity because there are no other solutions present. For the water to conduct electricity, there has to be an electrolyte. Salt water, Tap water, and sugar water do conduct a little electricity because they contain soluble ionic compounds.
Does water conduct battery electricity?
It doesn't conduct electricity if it is pure water as there are no flowing ions. But in un-pure water electricity can be conducted.
When does sodium chloride not conduct electricity?
Solid NaCl is not an electrolyte; the saline solution or the molten NaCl are electrolytes.
Would conduct electricity when mixed with water?
A water solution containing ions conduct electricity.
Does baking soda and water conduct electricity?
Yes, When Baking Soda is dissolved in water it will conduct electricity
What is the link between water that contains other substance and is ability to conduct electricity?
pure water does not conduct electricity. the presence of electrolytes in the water is what conducts electricity. the equation for the conductivity (ability to conduct electricity) Conductance = 1/ resistance
Does pool water conduct electricity?
Yes, pool water does conduct electricity. It contains chlorine, and it's a impurity. Impurities conducts electricity.
