Pure water to conduct electricity:
- As we know that the Pure water does not conduct electricity. It does not contain salt and so it's a poor conductor of electricity. To make pure water-conducting, we can add salt to it.
- When you put salt in water, the water molecules pull the sodium and chlorine ions apart so they are floating freely, increasing the conductivity.
- These ions are what carry electricity through the water with an electric current.
- So, the water is capable of conducting electricity due to dissolved ions and impurities.
- As we know that When any battery with positive and negative poles is placed in water, the positive ions are attracted by the negative pole and the negative ions by the positive pole, creating a closed circuit.
