You will need a electrolyte for it conduct electricity such as sodium chloride (table salt).

Can electrolysis taken place by distilled water?

No because for electrolysis to take place, an electrolyte or ions like table salt ( NaCl ) is needed. But in distilled water there are no ions or electrolytes. Hence electrolysis cannot take place in distilled water. - Dumnledore


During water electrolysis does the water have to be warm?

No, water does not have to be warm for electrolysis to occur. However, increasing the temperature can help improve the efficiency of the process by reducing the energy required for the reaction to take place.


Is iron rust in distilled water?

Yes, provided there is oxygen dissolved, which will be the case if the distilled water is open to the air, a rusting reaction will take place. It will be slow. The reaction is much quicker when there are dissolved salts.


Can rusting take place in distilled water?

Yes, rusting can still occur in distilled water, although at a slower rate compared to tap water or saltwater. The absence of ions in distilled water makes it a less conductive medium for the electrochemical reactions involved in rusting, but it is still possible for oxygen and iron to react and form rust over time.


Can you take water and separate it into hydrogen and oxygen again?

Yes, with electrolysis.


Can rusting of iron take place in distilled water?

Yes, rusting of iron can occur in distilled water, although the process may be slower compared to if the iron is exposed to water containing ions or impurities that can catalyze the rusting process. Rusting is a chemical reaction in which iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of moisture to form iron oxide.


How do you take the charges out of water to make distilled water?

Distilled water doesn't have anything to do with charges. To make distilled water, you, well, distill water. That is, you heat it until it boils, then collect and condense the vapor.


What type of particles must be able to pass through the barrier to allow electrolysis to take place to?

Only ions are able to pass through the barrier to allow electrolysis to take place. Ions are electrically charged particles formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. This movement of ions is necessary for the electrical current to flow and for the electrolysis reactions to occur.


Does distilled boil faster than pure water?

Yes, distilled water typically boils faster than impure water such as tap water because it lacks dissolved minerals and impurities that can inhibit the boiling process. This is because impurities raise the boiling point of water, causing it to take longer to boil.


What event must take place to separate a compound into separate elements?

A chemical reaction must occur to separate a compound into its separate elements. This may involve breaking the bonds holding the elements together within the compound, typically through the addition of energy or the introduction of another reactant.


Is Distilled water ok for tetras?

The simple answer is No. Distilled water has had all the life giving impurities removed. Before using distilled water you would need to add specific quantities of minerals etc depending upon the species of fish you want to keep.


Does distilled water weigh more than glucose?

If you take the molecular weight of water is it around 18 g/ mol. The simplest glucose molecule weighs around 180 g/mol. So the right answer to the question would be NO.
