Neither dry soil nor pure water conducts electricity. But wet soil will conduct electricity. Explain why this happens?

Chemistry

Pure water does not have enough ions to conduct electricity. A mixture of metals such as iron, zinc and copper in the wet soil can trigger electrolysis that requires excess energy in the form of over potential to conduct electricity. The excess energy is needed due to limited self-ionization of water. The wet soil then can conduct current when positive and negative ions are present. The water ions begin to flow from anode (positive electrode) to cathode (negative electrode) to be oxidize and produce electricity.

Briefly explain whether the following procedural errors would result in either an incorrectly high or incorrectly low calculated
seropon [69]
<span>A) This solution was not basic when it was heated in part 3. ( in part 3 i convertedCu(OH)2 to CuO).
Incorrectly low, because not all copper compounds will precipitate out

B) A slightly blue solution was decanted from Cu in part V. (in part 5 i reduced Cu(H20)6 ions with zink)
Incorrectly low, because some copper were thrown away

C) In part 5 the water in the beaker boiled away, exposing the evaporating dish to excess heat (same as above).
incorrectly high, because other compounds might be present as well </span>
