yes. because sea water is a mixture. it is not pure water.

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.
Why does bath water conduct electricity but pure water does not?
"Bath water" or normal water, usually contain many impurities. These impurities, such as ions (especially calcium ions) help the water to conduct electricity very efficiently (just like sea water). However in pure, dH20, there are no ions and impurities. The self-ionization of water isn't enough to conduct a current. Therefore, pure water doesn't conduct current, and is actually a pretty good insulator.
What are the characteristics of metallic bond?
well mainly they are just metals that conduct electricity and do not dissolve in water!!!!
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.
What will conduct electricity when mixed with water?
Water will conduct electricity if salt NaCl is dissolved in it. The conductivity is proportional to the salt concentration, and 3% gives a conductivity of 5 S/m, as in sea water.
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
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.
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 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.
What salts conduct electricity?
sea salts
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
Which water is better for electrical conduction boiled water sea water distilled water ordinary water?
Sea water has the best electrical conductivity. Ions from the salt can conduct electricity - but not very well.
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.
