Why is Distilled water not a good conductor of electricity? What can be done to make it conducting?

Distilled water is free from electrolytes and hence doesn’t have any conducting substance in it.

Hence, it is not a good conductor of electricity.

We know that acids, bases and salts are good conductors.

Hence, we can make distilled water conducting by making it

• An acid

Distilled water can be made acidic by adding lemon juice (citric acid), vinegar (acetic acid) in it

• A base

Distilled water can be made basic by adding detergent, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in it

• A salt solution

Distilled water can be made conducting by adding a salt like common salt (NaCl) in it
