Is sea water a conductor or an insulator?
yes it is a conductor because today we can get hot water and cold water it can be dirty or clean.
Why is gold a good conductor?
Gold, like any other metal, has a "sea" of delocalized/free electrons. These electrons act as "current carriers".
Who will survive Drowning in salt water versus fresh water?
it depend on the density of the water . fresh water is more dense than sea water. therefor human can float on sea water easier than fresh water. divers are good at water density.
Why does sea water freezes faster than fresh water?
sea water doesnt freeze faster than fresh water, fresh water freezes faster than sea water as it has a lower freezing point than sea water has as sea water contains salt which makes the boiling/freezing points increase therefore making the sea water freeze at a lower temperature.
Why is it that ship floats deeper in fresh water than in the sea water?
sea water is denser.
Is sea water a good conductor of electricity?
Yes it is because it contains salts.
Can current flow through sea water?
Yes. Salt water is a fairly good conductor of electricity.
Is sea water a conductor or Insulator?
Its definitely conductor
Why is seawater a good conductor of electricity?
Sea water is a good conductor of electricity as it contains lots of salts. Electrolysis of seawater is the cornerstone of the chlor-alkali industry.
Is sea water a conductor or an insulator?
yes it is a conductor because today we can get hot water and cold water it can be dirty or clean.
Why is Sea water an electrical conductor?
in sea water the ions will be present so the current will pass into these sea
Is iron a poor conductor of electricity?
since iron is a metal and most metals are good conductors of electricity one can assume that iron is a fair conductor of electricity. The electrical conductivity of iron is approx. 1/6 from the electrical conductivity of silver (the best known conductor).
What is the electrical conductivity of water?
It really depends a lot on the purity. Pure (distilled) water is a very bad conductor (a good isolator); but in general, real water has a certain amount of dissolved ions, that convert it into a good conductor. Wikipedia lists a conductivity of 4.8 S/m for sea water at a salnity of 35 g/kg (3.5%), and 0.0005 to 0.05 S/m for drinking water, so you can see that there can be quite a large range.
If water is a good conductor of electricity then if live electric wire comes in contact with sea or ocean then will all fishes or any person touching the water get electrocuted?
True, water is a conductor of electricity, and salt water is a bit better, but it also has something called resistance, that is it does resist current flow , so it would depend largely on how much current , how far apart the wires are , and how far away the electrocutee is.
What properties make a functional group or hydrocarbon a good conductor of electricity?
because of the free sea moving electrons
Is sea water good or bad for you?
Sea water is bad because if it gets in your eye you can get hurt and get a pink eyes.
What is good heat conductor?
most metals are good heat conductors, because their electrons are free to move around the protons in like a 'sea of electrons' and that enables them to be good charge carriers. (:
