There should be exactly no free electron flow (current) in distilled water because distilled water has zero conductivity. The charges will quickly be neutralised by spontaneous molecule contact. As distilled water is carbonated gradually when exposed to the air, it is electrically conductive.

Why does current flow through impure water and not through pure distilled water?

Water is actually an insulator and does not pass electricity well, the minerals within the water are what actually conduct the current and thus in distilled water there is no conduction


Is distilled water a homogeneous mixture?

Distilled water is usually a pure substance. Occasionally it contains a very small amount of chloride ions, and then it is an homogeneous mixture.


Is distilled water an insulator or conductor?

Distilled water is a poor conductor of electricity because it lacks dissolved ions or impurities that can carry an electric current. However, it can become a conductor if impurities are added to the water.


Why distilled water is a poor conductor of electricity while water drawn from a tube well conducts electricity.give reason?

Distilled water, if properly distilled, will not contain any ions, so it should not conduct an electric current. Water from a well will undoubtedly have many minerals and metals and salts, etc. in it because these will have been leached out of the ground. The ions that are present in well water will support the conduction of an electric current.


What happens if instead of salt water you use distilled water in the red onion experiment?

If distilled water is used instead of salt water in the red onion experiment to observe osmosis, there would be no osmotic movement because distilled water does not contain any dissolved solutes. In contrast to salt water, where water moves from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration, in distilled water there are no solutes to create a concentration gradient for water to move across the membrane.


Would a cell with zinc and carbon electrodes in a distilled water electrolyte produce voltage?

A cell with zinc and carbon electrodes in a distilled water electrolyte would not produce a significant voltage because distilled water has very low conductivity due to the lack of ions. For a galvanic cell to generate voltage, there needs to be a sufficient concentration of ions in the electrolyte to facilitate the flow of electric current. However, if a small amount of electrolyte (like a salt or acid) is added to the distilled water, a measurable voltage could be produced.


Are there any difference between distilled water used for batteries and distilled water used for terbine washing?

No, distilled water is distilled water.


How can you tell the difference between a container of distilled water and a container 0f salt water?

You can perform a taste test by sampling a small amount of the water. Salt water will have a salty taste, while distilled water will have a clean and neutral taste. Another way is to test the water's conductivity - salt water will conduct electricity, while distilled water will not.


What kind of device is this used for dispensing small quantities of distilled water?

The device most likely used for this purpose is a water dropper or a dispensing bottle with a narrow spout to control the flow of water. It is commonly used in laboratories for precise measurements and dispensing of small quantities of liquids such as distilled water.


Why is distilled water a base?

Distilled water is not a base.


What is a sentence for distilled?

You should not drink distilled water as it lacks minerals which are beneficial for us.Make a solution of the salt in distilled water.


How can you avoid a rip current?

Ask local watersiders, and observe ripples in the water.
