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 Magnesium oxide a good conductor of electric?
Only when melted or dissolved in a polar solvent.
Is silver nitrate a strong conductor?
Silver nitrate is a strong conductor when dissolved in water. As a solid compound it is a very poor conductor.
Is HCl is a good conductor of electricity?
When dissolved in water, yes. HCl is a very good conductor of electricity.
Is H20 a pure compound?
YES!!! H2O(Water) is a pure compound. However, water has the ability to act as a very powerful solvent. It will dissolve many substances. Whereupon, it is a solution and not a pure substance.
Is water a conductor water or an insulator?
It depends. Pure water do not conduct electric current; on the other hand, we consider tap and river water as a conductor because of the ions of the decomposed materials in the water. Water transmits electricity, heat, and sound very well, so it is a conductor. An insulator would not transmit electricity, heat, or sound well.
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 water conduct electricity well?
Pure water is a very poor conductor of electricity. Dissolving an ionic compound in water makes the solution a very good conductor.
Is water is a bad conductor of electricity?
Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity because it exists in solution as electrically neutral molecules. the molecules carry no electric charge and there are no ions in solution to carry charges. Hope this helps, physicsisland@hotmail.com
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.
What is electric charge conducted by?
There are two methods of conducting electric charge. Metals conduct electricity because the metallic bond creates a cloud of shared electrons which are highly mobile within the metal. Electrically charged ions can also conduct electricity, so for example, salty water is a good conductor, although pure water is a poor conductor (pure water does contain ions, both H+ and OH-, but in very low concentration).
Can water fog conduct electricity?
No, for several reasons. It's too diffuse. It's "pure" water (and pure water is a lousy conductor).
Why is water a very weak electric conductor?
the number of charged particles moving around in solution is very, very small. water is undergoing self-ionization.
Why is pure water a bad conductor of water?
It contains few ions. Dirty water conducts electricity very well. Or Salt water. Pure water has no solutes and lacks ions usually associated with solutes.
Is water an insulator?
No. Pure water isn't a very good conductor, but it's not an insulator either. Water with dissolved minerals ranges from an indifferent to pretty decent conductor ... not as good as most metals, but not too shabby.
Is a water an insulator?
No. Pure water isn't a very good conductor, but it's not an insulator either. Water with dissolved minerals ranges from an indifferent to pretty decent conductor ... not as good as most metals, but not too shabby.
Is carbon a electric conductor?
Yes, carbon is a very good conductor of electricity.
