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

Does salt water conduct more electricity than fresh water?

Yes, salt water conducts electricity better than fresh water because it contains more ions that can carry electric current. The ions in salt water come from dissolved salts such as sodium chloride (table salt), whereas fresh water has fewer ions and therefore has a lower conductivity.


What conducts more electricity acidic water in lemons or salty water?

acidic water because the salt slows down the the flow of electricity


Why rainwater conducts electricity?

Rain water is not pure water. Rain water contains small amounts of ions as minerals and salt as well as pollutants. This means that it is a solution of ions, making it an electrolyte (conducts electricity).


What type of liquid allows electricity to pass through?

Electrolytes, such as salt water or sulfuric acid, allow electricity to pass through when dissolved in water. This is because they contain ions that can carry electric current.


Is salt water more conductive than fresh water?

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.


Does salt water conducted electricity better than fresh water?

Because salt water contain ions of sodium and chlorine.


Does saline water conduct electricity?

Yes, saline water conducts electricitywhile distilled water is almost an insulator, salt water is a very efficient electrical conductor.


How is salt different from ammonia glucose water?

Salt is an ionic compound, it forms ions when dissolved in water. An ionic solution conducts electricity; ammonia or glucose dissolved in water will not conduct electricity as they are molecules not ions. Table salt is an ionic compound, NaCl (Sodium ion and Chloride ion)


What is a liquid with a low density and that conducts electricity very well?

Saline is probably the best example (common salt dissolved in water).


Contrast salt water and fresh water?

Fresh and salt water are very different for one key reason, fresh water doesn't contain salt and salt water obviously does. There are different flora and fauna in fresh and salt water for this reason.


Which conducts electricity better cold salt water or hot salt water?

salt water. nacl (sodium chloride) which is a salt seperates into ions Na+ and Cl- in the aqueous form and serves as a better conductor of electricity. This is true for most all salts or anything that seperates into ions into solution. God Bless & Jesus Christ is LORD:)
