Why is Sea water an electrical conductor?
in sea water the ions will be present so the current will pass into these sea
What species are present when HF is introduced to water?
When hydrofluoric acid (HF) is introduced to water, it will dissociate into hydrogen ions and fluoride ions. The main species present in the water will be hydrogen ions (H+) and fluoride ions (F-).
Why does an iron paper clip in sea water rust faster than an iron paper clip in distilled water?
The presence of dissolved ions in sea water, such as chloride ions, accelerates the oxidation of iron in a process called corrosion. Distilled water lacks these ions, so the oxidation process is slower. This is why an iron paper clip in sea water rusts faster than in distilled water.
Is sea water an acid or a base?
Sea water is considered to be slightly basic, with a pH typically around 8.1. This means that it has a higher concentration of hydroxide ions compared to hydronium ions.
Why sea water is good conductor of electricy?
Sea water is a good conductor of electricity because it contains dissolved ions like sodium and chloride, which are charged particles that can carry electric current. These ions allow sea water to conduct electricity more effectively compared to pure water, which has fewer charged particles.
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 bodies of water does Japan touch?
The main bodies of water include the Pacific Ocean, Sea of Japan, Philippine Sea and East China Sea. To the north is the Sea of Okhotsk and between the main islands in the Seto Inland Sea.
What bodies of water touch Japan?
The main bodies of water include the Pacific Ocean, Sea of Japan, Philippine Sea and East China Sea. To the north is the Sea of Okhotsk and between the main islands in the Seto Inland Sea.
What major bodies of water are in the Netherlands?
The main body of water is the North Sea.
What is the difference between bottled water and distilled water?
The main difference between distilled and bottle water is the ions and minerals found in them. In distilled water, no ions nor minerals can be found while in bottled water such elements are present. The taste is also different due to the ions present (or absent in the case of distilled water) in the water. !!
Does salt water have sodium chloride?
Yes. Sodium and chloride are the most abundant ions in sea salt.
What are the major ions in seawater and freshwater?
The major ions in sea water are chloride, sodium, sulphate, magnesium, calcium, potassium, bicarbonate, bromide, strontium,boron and flouride.
