How is salt a conductor to water?
When a salt is added to the water, it will be decomposed to it's ion. Ions has ability to conduct the electricity.
What are ion that conduct electricity in solution?
A solution containing ions conduct electricity. They are different for each solution.
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.
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.
What mixes with water that can conduct electricity?
An ionic compound dissolved in water is an electrolyte and can conduct electricity.
Would conduct electricity mixed with water?
A water solution containing ions 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.
How is salt different from ammonia glucose water?
Salt is an ionic compound, it forms ions when dissolved in water. An ionic solution conducts electricity; ammonia or glucose dissolved in water will not conduct electricity as they are molecules not ions. Table salt is an ionic compound, NaCl (Sodium ion and Chloride ion)
Does water have electricity?
Water itself does not conduct electricity, but it can become a conductor if it contains impurities or ions. This is why pure water does not conduct electricity, but tap water or saltwater can.
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
Why salt is a conductor of electricity?
Conductivity of water is due by the capacity of every organic and mineral ion to conduct electricity. As sodium ions and chlorine ions (composing the salt) are good conductors also minerals, salted water will have a better conductivity than drinking water. Pure Water will not conduct electricy because of the lack of minerals ions.
Can water conduct electricity in solid state?
No. Water can only conduct electricity in its liquid state with dissolved ionic solutes.
