I could say heat,
but I think you mean electricity
So:
pure water doesn't, but a little salt will turn it into a conductor.
But it's it ions, not the water, that conducts.
Pure water does not conduct electricity. However, since it is almost impossible to have pure water, anything wet will normally conduct electricity. Water almost always has some salts in it, and that provides the free electrons required to conduct electricity.
Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity because it has very few ions to carry current. However, when impurities or minerals are present in the water, it can conduct electricity to some extent. The current it can conduct depends on the concentration of ions present in the water.
"Bath water" or normal water, usually contain many impurities. These impurities, such as ions (especially calcium ions) help the water to conduct electricity very efficiently (just like sea water). However in pure, dH20, there are no ions and impurities. The self-ionization of water isn't enough to conduct a current. Therefore, pure water doesn't conduct current, and is actually a pretty good insulator.
Salt water
To conduct water
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.
An ionic compound dissolved in water is an electrolyte and can conduct electricity.
A water solution containing ions conduct electricity.
Yes. ANY water can conduct lightning.
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.
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.
Water that is highly purified will not conduct. Not all purified water is minerals free. minerals help the water conduct better and pure water doesn't have minerals, so the water doesn't conduct and doesn't make electricity. Pure water will not conduct current it is the minerals found within the water, that allow current to flow. Rebecca Gosselin 11 years old
the water
No. Water can only conduct electricity in its liquid state with dissolved ionic solutes.
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.
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.
Do_ionic_compounds_conduct_electricitycompounds conduct electricity when they are either dissolved in water of they are molten. If they remain a solid then they will not conduct electricity
