Question

Why Is Drain Water A Good Conductor Of Electricity

Answer 1

Answer:

Water itself is not a conductor of electricity. In order for a substance to carry charge, two conditions must first be met:

• There must be charged particles within the substance (either ions or electrons) and
• These particles must be free to move It is true that in water (H2O) the discrete molecules are free to move, however, they carry no charge.
• The only reason water can sometimes conduct electricity is because of the minerals (metallic solids) already present in the water.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Pure water is a relatively poor conductor of electricity. However, water also is a very good solvent for ionic molecules such as sodium chloride (table salt). The presence of positive and negative ions in water (such as calcium, sodium, and chlorine) greatly increases electrical conductivity.
