HCl (hydrochloric acid) and NaOH (sodium hydroxide) are strong acids and bases, respectively. When added to tap water, HCl will increase the acidity, while NaOH will increase the alkalinity. Both can react with impurities in tap water and alter its pH level. It is important to handle these chemicals with care and use appropriate safety precautions.

Which the highest conductivity between tap water and deionized water and why?

Tap Water has higher conductivity compared to deionized water since it has more mineral/ salts. Deionized water has less/ no minerals to conduct electrical current. One can experiment this in a your Water Fuel Cell using deionized water, tap water and water with salts like (KOH or NaOH) or sea water.Nitinwww.HydroxyGarage.comWater Fuel Technology is Here !!!

Does tap water effect the color in candy?

If your tap water is high in iron or sulphur, then the candy color certainly can be affected. If this is an issue you might use distilled water. Bottled water typically suffers the same defects, at it is bottled tap water kept inside a plastic chemical bottle.


Will using distilled water instead of tap water improve you gas millage?

NO. But you should use distilled water mixed at a 50/50 ratio with anti-freeze and not tap water. It will however have no effect whatsoever on your mileage.

What effect does tap water have on a nail left for a week?

Oxidation, commonly known as rust. If the water is chlorinated or fluoridated, there are secondary effects, as well.


Will salt water or tap water have a greater affect on a plant's growth in four days?

As salt water will kill it quickly in almost all situations, and a regular tap water would keep it living at it's normal rate, I'd say salt would have the greater effect...albeit a negative effect.


Which water has more chemicals new water or tap water?

tap water


Which will freeze fastest tap water tap salt water and tap sugared water?

Plain Tap water would freeze fastest.Adding salt or sugar to tap water will cause a depression/decrease in freezing point. Hence it will be harder to freeze the tap salt or sugar water.


Is tap water an acid an alkali or neutral?

tap water may be is acid due to chlorination when cured. But in other hand, I can say tap water is neutral due to evaporation of HCl gas when exposed in open space. Chlorine is actually mainly neutral so chlorination makes no difference in the PH levels of the tap water. The Ph level will mainly be based on the chemical levels of the water on that specific day.
