"pure water does not conduct electricity. But some tap water probably can. Which best explains this?" a . Tap water is H20 b . Pure water is H20 c . Some tap water has minerals, such as iron in it.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

"pure water does not conduct electricity. But some tap water probably can."

The reason why pure water does not conduct electricity is due to the absence of mineral and metal containing salts. Pure water is made up of only Hydrogen and oxygen atom as represented by the formula; H2O

Tap water on the other hand are most likely able to conduct electricity due to the presence of these ions. They may arise from impurities or during treatment processes.

The correct options are;

b . Pure water is H2O

c . Some tap water has minerals, such as iron in it.
