water conduct electricity

hey friend,
Water itself doesn’t “conduct” electricity. Want proof? Using a handheld conductivity meter, you’ll find that deionized water does not conduct electricity. No ions = no conductivity.
So, if you’re looking at a glass tap water at room temperature, for example, you’ve got a solution that’s loaded with impurities in the form of solids and dissolved ions. Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium, Chlorides, etc… It’s those dissolved ions that create a path for electricity to travel. The solids that settle at the bottom of the glass of water won’t contribute to the conductivity of the solution.
So, here’s the key: When water is heated, it can better dissolve MOST solids into ions and therefore increase the conductivity of the solution.
hope it helps you mate.
