Does dirty water conduct electric?

Yes. but not much


Why do ionic crystals conduct electric current in liquid phase or when dissolved in water but do not conduct electric current in the solid phase?

because of the gravity or Magnetricity


Why do ionic crystals conduct electric currents in the liquid phase or when dissolved in the water but do not conduct electric currents in the solid phase?

because when the ions can move around freely, they can conduct electricity better


What A material that dissolves in water that does not conduct electric current is?

non-electrolytes


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.
