Water is a poor conductor of electricity but with Strong electrolytes added in it, it becomes a very strong conductor.Salt is a strong electrolyte.A large portion of the Solute(which is salt)exists as ions.

Why do the light bulb remain unlit when the electrodes were placed in the deionized water?

Best way to explain this Question is by giving a counter example; Light bulb will light up when electrodes are placed in an ion solution. Why is that? This is because when a potential difference is created in an ion solution, the ions are able to react in a redox (reduction and oxidation) reaction. This allows the path of the electrons to be continued even in the liquid medium; This is why we see the light bulb light up! Now to answer the original question, the light bulb cannot light up in deionized water because there exists no ions within the solution. This means that the circuit no longer exists at the liquid medium thus the light bulb will remain unlit hope this helps - bwabwa


Why toothpick can't let the bulb light up?

Because the bulb fused or toothpick is not the good conductor of eletricity.


What does a light source do?

It's simple the light bulb brings light when it is dark.it lights up the house how does it light up. it has a cord which electricity passes through and lights up the wire


If a light bulb is missing or broken in a series circuitwill the other bulb light?

In a series circuit, if a light bulb is missing or broken, the circuit becomes incomplete, and the electrical current cannot flow. As a result, the other bulbs in the series will not light up. All components in a series circuit must be functioning for the entire circuit to operate.


Can you give me 2 fact about the incandescant light bulb?

-It's a very old technology quickly being replaced by newer more efficient technologies. -The light produced in the bulb is created by electricity heating up a filament inside the bulb creating light. This wouldn't be possible without the bulb however, since oxygen would quickly end this reaction of the filament through oxidation.

Can you light up a bulb using salt and water?

Aqueous solution of salt and water serves as electrolyte which acts as conducting medium.


Why is salt water able to light a bulb?

Salt water is able to light a bulb because it conducts electricity. When a voltage is applied across the salt water, the ions from the dissolved salt allow electric current to flow, completing the circuit and allowing the bulb to light up.


Why do you think salt water can light the bulb but distilled water cannot?

Salt water conducts electricity and contains ions that can complete the circuit and allow the bulb to light up. Distilled water, on the other hand, is a poor conductor of electricity as it lacks ions and impurities needed to carry the electrical current.

How do you light up a bulb with a salt and distilled water?

You can use a saltwater solution as an electrolyte in a simple circuit with a lightbulb. By connecting a wire from each terminal of the battery to the saltwater solution, you can create a flow of electricity that will light up the bulb. However, please note that this is a simple electrical experiment and caution should be taken when working with electricity.

What happens when you place a light bulb in a little water and put it in a microwave?

the light bulb will light up because of the different heat waves in the microwave. If you want to try thisfirst you take a small cup and fill it with a little bit of water take a light bulb and place it in water then put it a microwave for ten seconds.note don't put in microwave for more than twenty seconds the light bulb will explode
