Question

What happens when we add a pinch of salt or lemon juice in distilled water to test its conduction of electric current ?

Answer 1

Answer:

when we add a pinch of salt in water and as water is a polar solvent the nacl(salt) gets disassociate d into ions and as we know that ions are the charged particles the conduct electricity

Answer 2

When we add a pinch of salt or lemon juice in distilled water,the water becomes able to conduct adequate amount of electricity.

• The distilled water which has almost negligible amount of impurities, cannot conduct any kind of electricity.

• But, when we add a pinch of salt or lemon juice,the added substances gets ionised into the water and those ions conduct the electricity through the water.

• In this way we can activate the electric conductivity of the distilled water.
