In chemistry lab, Sam are given a sample of a salt water solution. He measure its electrical conductivity. He then pour the salt water through a purification filter. If he measure the purified water’s electrical conductivity, do he expect it to be lower or higher than the unfiltered water, and why?     A Higher: purifying water removes ions from the water allowing it to carry more current.     B Higher: purifying water increases the number ions in the water allowing it to carry more current.     C Lower: purifying water removes ions from the water causing it to carry less current.     D Lower: purifying water increases the number of ions in the water causing it to carry less current.

In chemistry lab, Sam are given a sample of a salt water solution. He measure its electrical conductivity. He then pour the salt water through a purification filter.

If he measure the purified water’s electrical conductivity, do he expect it to be lower or higher than the unfiltered water, and why?

 
 
A

Higher: purifying water removes ions from the water allowing it to carry more current.

 
 
B

Higher: purifying water increases the number ions in the water allowing it to carry more current.

 
 
C

Lower: purifying water removes ions from the water causing it to carry less current.

 
 
D

Lower: purifying water increases the number of ions in the water causing it to carry less current.
