salt water. nacl (sodium chloride) which is a salt seperates into ions Na+ and Cl- in the aqueous form and serves as a better conductor of electricity. This is true for most all salts or anything that seperates into ions into solution. God Bless & Jesus Christ is LORD:)

∙ 15y agoConducting electricity is a flow of charge, therefore the water with the most ions will be the best conductor. Salt water contains NaCl which will dissociate in to Na+ and Cl- which will carry the charge. Therefore salt water is the best conductor of electricity

∙ 10y agoSalt water is the better conductor. The concept that water conducts electicity is misleading. In fact, pure water does not conduct electricity at all. If you were sitting in a pool of pure water and a plugged-in hair dryer were to be placed in the other end, you would be perfectly fine. When certain chemicals, including most ionic compounds like salt, are added to the water, they allow the mixture to conduct electricty. So for instance, tap water conducts electricty because it is not pure water; tap water has other chemicals such as chlorine added.

∙ 11y agoSea water is a "better conductor of electricity" (lower resistivity) than
tap water is, because of the higher concentration of mineral salts in it.

Is cold water best conductor of electricity?
No, but impure is a good conductor of electricity.
Do marigolds grow better with cold tap or sugar water?
it grows in cold tap better
Do solids dissolve better in hot or cold water?
Dissolving is caused by the small rapid movements of the atoms or molecules. The faster they are moving, the better substances dissolve. As the molecules have more energy and therefore move faster in hot water, substances dissolve better there.
What is better cold water or an icepack for an injury?
It depends what kind of injury if a burn run it under cold water if you twisted ur ankle ice it.
is it true carbon dioxide dissolves better in cold water than warm?
no
Does cold water conduct electricity?
Pure water no. Water conducts electricity because of the impurities in it.
Is cold wter best insulator of elctricity?
It is more about mineral content than the temperature of the water. The more minerals in the water the better a conductor, the less minerals then it conducts worse. Pure water doesn't conduct electricity at all.
What temperature washing water is better for the environment?
Cold water is better for the enviorment, because it uses "NO" electricity and power.
Why cold water thaw frozen foods faster than in air?
Because water conducts heat better than air. And even if the water is cool to touch, it's still warmer than the frozen food.
Is cold water run on electricity?
Only in water coolers.
Is cold water best conductor of electricity?
No, but impure is a good conductor of electricity.
Why metal faster heat transfer than plastic?
I understand that this is for the same reason that a metal transfers electricity better: this is a result of a large number of free electrons, that is, electrons that are relatively free to move around.
Does powdered juice dissolve better faster in hot or in cold water?
Powdered juice dissolves faster in hot water, but tastes better in cold water.
What keeps cold water cooler foil or plastic?
Plastic - Foil is metallic and conducts heat easier
Can hot water conduct electricity?
Not pure water - salt water can - hot or cold.
Does a plant grow better in warm water or cold water?
