AS YOU KNOW THAT THE FORMULA OF WATER IS H2O,in this two ions are present H+ and -OH ions ,the impure water has other particles of salts like Ca++ , Mg++ etc , in this way if we pass electricity they easily ionized and dissociated into its ions so, than pure water it is more ideal to conduct electricity .that is why impure water good conductor of heat and electricity.

Is water a good conductor of heat or bad?
Water is a good conductor of heat.
Is juice an conductor?
Yes, all impure solutions of water containing salts are conductive to some degree, in addition many juices are acidic, and many acidic water solutions are conductive.
1.Is filtered hot water a good conductor 2. is filtered water at normal temperature a good conductor 3.Is distilled water a good conductor?
1)yes 2)yes but not as good as before 3)no, there are no metal ions left in it to conduct.
Why is water a conductor?
Pure (distilled) water is not a good conductor; but most natural water has some ions, that help conductivity.
Is water an insulator or conductor?
Pure water (distilled water) is an insulator. Generally we think of water as a conductor because there are impurity ions in the water, such as tap water. Pure water can't be called a conductor, but it can also conduct electricity.
Is cold water best conductor of electricity?
No, but impure is a good conductor of electricity.
Is iron a poor conductor of electricity?
since iron is a metal and most metals are good conductors of electricity one can assume that iron is a fair conductor of electricity. The electrical conductivity of iron is approx. 1/6 from the electrical conductivity of silver (the best known conductor).
What is extrinsic conduction?
impure conductor
IS WATER IS A GOOD CONDUCTOR?
Distilled water is a bad conductor. Dirty water, or water with impurities added, is a good conductor. It is not the water that matters, but the impurities.
Is water a good a conductor?
Distilled water is a bad conductor. Dirty water, or water with impurities added, is a good conductor. It is not the water that matters, but the impurities.
Is water a good conductor of heat or bad?
Water is a good conductor of heat.
Is 'dirty water' a good conductor or insulator?
yes water is a good conductor
Is a water a conductor or an insulator of electricity?
Pure water, that is to say without any other substances, actually does not conduct electricity. Water with impurities, on the other hand, does conduct electricity. Since water is usually impure, common water conducts electricity.
What conducts electricity when mixed with water?
Water in general is a good conductor of electricity. Anything wet will therefore be a good conductor (this makes it dangerous to get certain things wet).Actually, pure (distilled) water is not a good conductor; the fact that water usually IS a good conductor is due to diverse substances dissolved in water, such as salts - the ions make the water a good conductor.
Are water the best conductor does not involve movement of matter?
Water is not a good conductor.
Is the tap water a good electrical conductor?
Tab water is a conductor of electric current but not a good one due to low degree of ionization of water. But if it has significant amount of salts then it will be a good conductor.
Is leather a good conductor of electricity?
No, BUT -- leather can absorb moisture, and water is a good conductor.
