Tap water contains various minerals, chlorine, air, and impurities that vary from place to place, therefore tap water is a mixture. Tap water contains dissolved salts. These salts dissociate into ions when electricity passed through them which are responsible for the electrical conductivity of tap water. But distilled water does not contain any dissolved salts, so it does not conduct electricity.
- Tap water is a solution where air and tap water acts as a solvent while constituents act as solutes.
- In solution, solutes are not chemically bonded with solvent and can be separated by physical separation techniques.
- Constituents of air and tap water can also be separated by physical separation techniques.
