Answer:

You would be electrocuted if you bathed with the hair dryer, even if the shower is with perfectly pure distilled water, because even though the distilled water is pure and does not conduct electricity, it dissolves the ions of the body, from the bathtub, from the hair dryer or any surface that is not completely clean and will conduct electricity.

Explanation:

Water does not conduct electricity, but ions dissolved in water will. Because the electric current is transported by means of ions in solution, the conductivity increases when the ion concentration increases. Then pure or distilled water would not conduct electricity. Upon contact with any surface that is not completely clean, ions dissolve and conduct electricity.

The water used to take a shower, wash or drink water, contains mineral salts that are ionized, that is to say that they are electrically charged, in addition to different ions such as calcium, magnesium, nitrites, chlorides and nitrates, which allow the passage of current.

You would be electrocuted if you bathed with the hair dryer, even if the shower is with perfectly pure distilled water, because even though the distilled water is pure and does not conduct electricity, it dissolves, as previously mentioned, the ions of the body, from the bathtub, from the hair dryer or any surface that is not completely clean and will conduct electricity.

Based on the kinetic molecular theory (KMT), which statement is true?
nataly862011 [7]

Statement 1 is false because heat is the movement of molecules.

Statement 2 is true because matter is composed of elementary particles which are VERY small.

Statement 3 is false because the kinetic energy of a particle determines its heat and it is impossible for a particle to be completely motionless.

Statement 4 is false because neutrons do not have a charge and make up a large portion of all matter.

A prototype is usually different from the final product
Assoli18 [71]
True. The prototype is usually the "rough draft" the figure out what needs fixed or upgraded before they make the final product "final draft". Hope that helped!
