Is distilled water a conductor?
Disttilled water is not a goood conductor because it is the impurities in the water that conduct electricity, but it is.
Is water a conductor of electricty?
Yes and no. Pure water, i.e. distilled or deionized, is a very poor conductor of electricity. However, in most cases water is not pure and has some amount of dissolved ions making it a good conductor.
Does liquid conduct electricity well?
It depends on the liquid. Oil would not be a good conductor of electricity. Water is a good conductor, though distilled water is not. Any liquid metal or ionic compound would be a good conductor.
What conducts electricity when mixed with water?
Water in general is a good conductor of electricity. Anything wet will therefore be a good conductor (this makes it dangerous to get certain things wet).Actually, pure (distilled) water is not a good conductor; the fact that water usually IS a good conductor is due to diverse substances dissolved in water, such as salts - the ions make the water a good conductor.
Can electrolysis taken place by distilled water?
No because for electrolysis to take place, an electrolyte or ions like table salt ( NaCl ) is needed. But in distilled water there are no ions or electrolytes. Hence electrolysis cannot take place in distilled water. - Dumnledore
Is Distilled water is conductor?
Absolutely pure water (distilled is a good example) is a very poor conductor of electricity. With just a bit of dissolved minerals it becomes a good conductor, but not when distilled.
Is plain water a conductor or insulator?
Plain distilled (or double distilled) water with no impurities is a poor conductor of electricity. The more impurities it has the better conductor it becomes
Is distilled water is the best conductor of eletricity?
no! its a insulator
Is sugar solution in distilled water a conductor of electricity?
no
Why tap water is conductor of electricity but distilled water is not?
ok
Is distilled water a conductor?
Disttilled water is not a goood conductor because it is the impurities in the water that conduct electricity, but it is.
Is distilled water an insulator or conductor?
As it don't have dissolved salts ***** Distilled water does not conduct electricity for the above reason.
Is water a good a conductor?
Distilled water is a bad conductor. Dirty water, or water with impurities added, is a good conductor. It is not the water that matters, but the impurities.
IS WATER IS A GOOD CONDUCTOR?
Distilled water is a bad conductor. Dirty water, or water with impurities added, is a good conductor. It is not the water that matters, but the impurities.
Why is water a conductor?
Pure (distilled) water is not a good conductor; but most natural water has some ions, that help conductivity.
What can be added to pure or distilled water to make it a conductor of electricity?
Ions, use salt.
Is water a conductor of electricty?
Yes and no. Pure water, i.e. distilled or deionized, is a very poor conductor of electricity. However, in most cases water is not pure and has some amount of dissolved ions making it a good conductor.
