Which type of water conducts electricity salt water or fresh water?

Both conduct electricity well, however salt water is a better conductor due to ions available.


Can sodium chloride that is dissolved conduct electricity?

Yes, a saline solution is a conductor.


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 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.


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.


When does sodium chloride not conduct electricity?

Solid NaCl is not an electrolyte; the saline solution or the molten NaCl are electrolytes.


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.


Can tap water conduct electricity?

Yes, tap water can conduct electricity due to the presence of dissolved ions like sodium and chloride. However, pure water does not conduct electricity because it lacks these ions. It's always important to be cautious when dealing with electricity and water to prevent accidents.


How acids and salts conduct electricity?

They conduct electricity only if they are electrolytes: in water solutions or when they are melted.
