Question

distilled water is ____ conductor of electricity while tap water is___ conductor of electricity​

Answer 1

Explanation:

(1) Distilled water is pure and free of salts; thus it is a very poor conductor of electricity. By adding ordinary table salt (NaCl) to distilled water, it becomes an electrolyte solution, able to conduct electricity.

Answer 2

Answer:

1) Poor conductor of electricity

2) Poor conductor of electricity

Explanation:

1)Distilled water is pure and free of salts; thus it is a very poor conductor of electricity. By adding ordinary table salt (NaCl) to distilled water, it becomes an electrolyte solution, able to conduct electricity.

2)Pure water contains very few ions and so it is a poor electricity conductor. But when impurities such as salt dissolve in water, the resulting solution conducts electricity very well. That is why you MUST NOT touch electrical outlets or switches with wet hands
