Explain why pure water has a very slight electrical conductivity.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Pepsi [2]3 years ago
7 0
For electricity to flow there must be a flow of electrons or ions present in a system or medium. When electricity is passed in pure water, oxygen does not have d-orbitals or f-orbitals through which electrons may pass. In pure water there are no electrolytic substance, so no ions present in the pure water. Therefore electricity can not pass through pure water. Additionally; water cannot dissociate into OH- and H+ when electricity is passed through pure water.

a. the ratio of mass to charge of an electron

Explanation:

The experiment permitted the direct measurement of the ratio of mass to charge of an electron.

  • The charge to mass ratio of an electron was determine by accelerating a beam of cathode rays in magnetic and electric fields.
  • No matter the gas used in the tube or the nature of the material of the electrodes, the rays were found to have constant charge to mass ratio of 1.76 x 10¹¹coulombkg⁻¹.
