Does pure water, without any ions or impurities conduct electricity?
Answer:
There is some degree of conduction as pure water still ionises by itself to form some ions, this is unpreventable:
2H2O(l) ↔ H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq)
Pure water's conductivity is around 5.5 × 10-6 Sm^-1 which is pretty small.
Since there are ions it can conduct electricity - but compared with impure water it is rather poor.
Yes, but not very well.
nope...
No. Never.
Pure water is an insulator of electricity unless u give very high voltages of the order of the ionisation potential of H2O.
It is only the presence of ions in water that is responsible for the conduction of electricity.
nope.since water is in the form of molecules, no conduction of electricity will happen...
Basically, pure water is an insulator of electricity. Only when impurity is added to it, it ionizes and conducts electricity.
no, it doesnot but when salt is put, it generates elctricity. this was found by a scientist named daniel. that is why it is called daniel's . just for your knowledage, he also discovered that potatoes and lemon generate elctricity in smaller quantity.
