Why do acids conduct electricity when mixed with distilled water?
When you add an acid to water you make ions, and ions conduct electricity. For instance, if you add hydrochloric acid, HCl to water, you make H+ and Cl- ions in water. Water with ions in it, also called an electrolyte, will conduct electricity. The ions are able to carry charge and they are free to move in the solution.If you add a base to water, the same effect works just as well. All you need to conduct electricity in water is free ions in solution. Adding table salt to water will also work.
Why electrolysis does not take place in distilled water?
You will need a electrolyte for it conduct electricity such as sodium chloride (table salt).
Why do you need two metals to conduct electricity?
You need different atoms...?
Why salt is needed to conduct electricity?
Ultrapure water is a bad conductor; you need a salt, which form ions, to increase the electrical conductivity.
Why doesn't water conduct as well as copper?
Water becomes a conductor of electricity that can replace copper in wires when the water is heated. Hydroelectric power plants heat water to run giant turbines that conduct electricity and generate heat. The places being serviced by the hydroelectric power plant still need copper wires, though to have electricity.
Do solid nac2h3o2 and sugar crystals conduct electricity?
no, you need moving changed particles to conduct electricity

Why doesn't water conduct electrical?
Usually you need ions in order to conduct an electric current and distilled water only contains a very minute ion concentration. Once ions are added, though it can conduct electricity.
Why electrolysis does not take place in distilled water?
You will need a electrolyte for it conduct electricity such as sodium chloride (table salt).
How does an electric eel conduct electricity?
the electric eel conduct electricity like how lights need electricity to work and like how the human body needs electricity to work.
Why do you need a metal wire in a circuit?
To conduct the electricity!
Why do you need two metals to conduct electricity?
You need different atoms...?
What kind of battery will you need to send electricity through water?
Doesn't really matter what kind of energy source you use, water isn't an efficient media to transmit electricity through.
Why salt is needed to conduct electricity?
Ultrapure water is a bad conductor; you need a salt, which form ions, to increase the electrical conductivity.
Can K3PO4 conduct electricity?
Not unless it is either:dissolved in watermeltedYou need to have mobile ions for a salt to conduct.
Is rain water conductive?
Rain water is not pure water. Rain water contains small amounts of ions as minerals and salt as well as pollutants. This means that it is a solution of ions, making it an electrolyte (conducts electricity).
How an UPS works?
it saves the electricity in a battery and then supplies it when in need.
