fill up when salt is dissolved in distilled water , we obtain salt solution. This solution is a ______ of electricity
Answers
Answer:
Distilled water is pure form of water which do not contain any solute in it. Therefore it cannot conduct electricity because it does not contain ions while rain water contains dissolved salts and acids which dissociates in ions and conducts electricity.
When salt is dissolved in distilled water, we obtain salt solution. This solution is a conductor of electricity.
A salt is formed when an acid and a base of comparable strength react together. The salt formed by the above described reaction is water soluble and when dissolved in water, it dissociates into its respective composite ions. Now, if electricity is passed through the solution, the ions, being charged, carries the electrical current and completes the circuit hence making the solution a conductor of electricity.
