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

Does tap water solidify first than distilled water?

The difference in temperature is not significant; for an impure water the freezing point is lower.


Why did you observe a small current flow in distilled water?

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.


Does distilled boil faster than pure water?

Yes, distilled water typically boils faster than impure water such as tap water because it lacks dissolved minerals and impurities that can inhibit the boiling process. This is because impurities raise the boiling point of water, causing it to take longer to boil.


What is the pure and impure form of water and state why it is so?

The pure form of water is distilled water, which has been purified to remove impurities such as minerals, salts, and contaminants. Impure water can contain various substances like minerals, microorganisms, chemicals, and pollutants, making it unsafe for consumption. The presence of impurities in water can affect its taste, smell, and overall quality, making it essential to purify water for various uses.


Is distilled water a carbohydrate?

No, distilled water is not a carbohydrate. Carbohydrates are organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, while distilled water is simply pure water with impurities removed through distillation.


How is distilled water obtained?

Through Distillation


What are a few examples of pure and impure substances around us?

pure substance all elements and compounds like gold, hydrogen, water, methane etc. impure substance mixtures of different substances like milk, soil, sea water, minerals etc


What are the two types of water?

The two types of water are freshwater and saltwater. Freshwater comes from sources such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater, while saltwater is found in oceans and seas. Both types of water play crucial roles in supporting life on Earth.


Does distilled water contain lipids?

No, distilled water does not contain lipids. Distilled water is water that has been purified through a process of heating and condensation, which removes impurities, including lipids. Lipids are nonpolar molecules that are not soluble in water.


Is rainwater the same as distilled water?

No, rainwater is not the same as distilled water. Rainwater is collected from the atmosphere and may contain impurities, while distilled water is created through a process of boiling and condensation to remove impurities.


What is distilled water on a pH scale?

Distilled water, if it is truly distilled to purity, has a pH of 7. This means that the concentration of hydrogen ions dissociated from the water is 1x10-7 mol dm-3. Often, distilled water is impure, and is slightly more acidic (it has a slightly lower pH than seven).


How does impure water conduct electricity?

If by "purified" you mean distilled, then no. It will not conduct electricity. Some bottled water companies define filtered water or spring water as "pure," but that does not mean purified. Distilled water is water that has everything but water removed.
