Question

State reason for the following statement tap water conducts electicity

Answer 1

The short answer is: pure water does not conduct electricity. Any impurities, like salts, in the water enable it to conduct electricity. When salts are dissolved in water, they separate into different electrically charged atoms called ions.

Answer 2

Tap water contains minerals and other impurities. These minerals and impurities rub against each other to produce electric charges. That's why tap water can conduct electricity..
