No. A substance that does not contain ions will not be a conductor of electricity.

Water solutions do not conduct electricity?

Water does not conduct electricity. However, it is a very good solvent and can produce many (on the order of millions, at least) different solutions that can conduct electricity. What is needed is an ionic compound to be mixed with the water. Salt is a good example of this. Since there is always a bit of sweat on one's skin, and sweat contains salt, it is safer to assume all water conducts, as contamination with an electrolyte is extremely easy. If the water or solution does not contain a dissociated ionic compound - that is, a compound made by transferal of electrons, the constituent atoms or ion complexes of which become detached when mixed in water - it will not conduct.


Which the highest conductivity between tap water and deionized water and why?

Tap Water has higher conductivity compared to deionized water since it has more mineral/ salts. Deionized water has less/ no minerals to conduct electrical current. One can experiment this in a your Water Fuel Cell using deionized water, tap water and water with salts like (KOH or NaOH) or sea water.Nitinwww.HydroxyGarage.comWater Fuel Technology is Here !!!


Will acetone conduct electricity dissolve in water or conduct electricity once dissolved?

Acetone is not conductive and does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar solvent. When acetone is dissolved in water, it does not conduct electricity because it does not ionize to form charged particles in water.


Does water conduct electricity?

Yes, water can conduct electricity because it contains ions that allow electric current to flow through it.


Does stearic acid conduct electricity when conducted in water?

No, stearic acid does not conduct electricity when dissolved in water since it is a non-electrolyte. It does not dissociate into ions in water, which are required for conducting electricity.

What is the resistivity of deionized water and how does it compare to the resistivity of other types of water?

The resistivity of deionized water is high, meaning it is a good insulator. It is higher than the resistivity of tap water or seawater, which have more dissolved ions and conduct electricity better.


Is tap water a conductor?

Yes, as it has small amounts of salts dissolved it has ions permitting it to conduct. Completely deionized water however doesn't conduct, it is an insulator. But you won't get deionized water from your tap unless you have a reverse osmosis device in the line.


If a live wire were dropped into a pool of deionized water you were swimming in would you be electrocuted?

Really depends on the voltage of the live wire. Thought the water is "deionized," water can self-ionize with the equation: 2H2O <==> H3O+ + OH- Thus even though the water is deionized, if the voltage is high enough, it will ionize the water and the water will conduct electricity, thus if the voltage is high enough, you would be electrocuted. But it is not a good idea to try. That's the best way to FRY yourself and start pushing up daisys rather quickly.


Does pure water conduct any electricity at all?

No, pure water does not conduct electricity because there are no other solutions present. For the water to conduct electricity, there has to be an electrolyte. Salt water, Tap water, and sugar water do conduct a little electricity because they contain soluble ionic compounds.


What mixes with water that can conduct electricity?

An ionic compound dissolved in water is an electrolyte and can conduct electricity.


Would conduct electricity mixed with water?

A water solution containing ions conduct electricity.


Does water conduct battery electricity?

It doesn't conduct electricity if it is pure water as there are no flowing ions. But in un-pure water electricity can be conducted.


Does water have electricity?

Water itself does not conduct electricity, but it can become a conductor if it contains impurities or ions. This is why pure water does not conduct electricity, but tap water or saltwater can.


What is the link between water that contains other substance and is ability to conduct electricity?

pure water does not conduct electricity. the presence of electrolytes in the water is what conducts electricity. the equation for the conductivity (ability to conduct electricity) Conductance = 1/ resistance

Can water conduct electricity in solid state?

No. Water can only conduct electricity in its liquid state with dissolved ionic solutes.
