Question

Why does distilled water donot conduct electricity but rain water does?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The availability of ions is very important to conduct electricity. Distilled water is a pure type of water which does not contain any ions in it. Whereas rainwater contains dissolved gasses such as SO2, CO2. These gases dissolve in water to form some kind of acids like carbonic acids which dissociates to give ions. Thus rainwater is conducting electricity while distilled water is not conducting electricity

Thank you and have a nice day

Answer 2

Distilled water does not conduct electricity because it does not contain any ionic compound like acids , bases or salts dissolved in it .

Rainwater while falling to the earth

through the atmosphere , dissolves an

acidic gas carbon dioxide from the air

and forms carbonic acid ( H2CO3 ) .

Hence , due to the presence of carbonic

acid which provides ions to rainwater ,

the rainwater conducts electricity .
