even a bit of salt can make a (tiny) bit of electricity. the more salt, the more electricity
Yes, salt is conductive in water because it dissociates into ions that can carry an electric current.
Yes, salt water is more conductive than fresh water because the presence of salt ions in salt water allows for the flow of electricity more easily compared to the lack of ions in fresh water.
Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity because it lacks ions for the current to flow through. To make water conductive, you can add salt or another electrolyte to it. The salt dissociates into ions in the water, allowing it to conduct electricity.
Yes, water is water and it is conductive regardless if it has salt vs. chlorine in it.

In water salt dissociates into free sodium and chloride ions. Ions have charges which are able to transmit current. In plain salt the ions are bound to each other, creating neutral molecule that is not free to move or transmit current.
Salt mixes with water in the earth and makes it more conductive.
One characteristic of salt water is its buoyancy, which can vary based on the amount of salt present. Salt water is also more conductive of electricity compared to fresh water due to its higher concentration of ions. Additionally, salt water is capable of freezing at lower temperatures than fresh water.
Salt helps to increase the conductivity of the water, allowing for a more efficient flow of electricity during the electrolysis process. This results in the production of hydrogen and oxygen gases at the electrodes.
When salt is added to water, the salt particles dissolve and break apart into ions, increasing the density of the water. This makes the water more conductive, changes its freezing and boiling points, and affects the taste.
Pickles are conductive because of their acid content. The salt helps too. Pickles can even make a battery.
Sodium chloride (in water solution or molten) is electrically conductive.
