What are the disadvantages of using salt water to conduct electricity?
electrolysis of water could ensue, blocking conductivity
Does pure water conduct electricity if not what can you do to make it conducting answer in detail.?
No, pure water does not conduct electricity. However, adding an electrolyte, preferably a salt, will release ions into the solution that make it electrically conductive.
Things that conduct electricity?
"things that conduct electricity" is a very common question, but however is different than "what things conduct electricity" things like water with salt dissolved into it, wood, metal, and SOME plastics conduct electricity, but copper and silver are the best even though people think gold is.
Describe as a series of steps how table salt in water makes a solution that can conduct electricity?
Table salt is NaCl, when placed in water. The elements separate into Na+ and Cl-. The + and - ions connect the electrical current.
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).
Would conduct electricity when mixed with water?
A water solution containing ions conduct electricity.
Does salt water need a battery to conduct electricity?
no it dosent because the salt water cuts off the electricity
Which kind of water conduct the most electricity salt water or pure water?
Salt water
Did salt with water conduct electricity?
Yes still it does
What would conduct with electricity when mixed with water?
salt
Can electricity pass through salted water?
yes electricity can pass through salt water .salt is an ionic compound which can conduct electricity
Does salt water conduct more electricity than fresh water?
salt water conducts more electricity than fresh water because it contains great amounts of ions which can conduct a lot of 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.
Which tipe of elements conduct electricity the best?
I would say that salt water would conduct electricity best.
Why can a solution of salt water conduct electricity but a solid salt cannot?
Water is a better conductor.
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.
Which of the following would conduct electricity when mixed with water?
Salt
