Question

Will the solution of sugar in distilled water conduct electricity?

Answer 1

1. A solution can only conduct electricity if it contains ions in significant numbers.
2. Distilled water can ionize ${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$ to ${\mathrm{H}}^{+}$ and ${\mathrm{OH}}^{-}$, but the degree of ionization far lesser degree to conduct electricity.
3. Adding Sugar$\left({\mathrm{C}}_{12}{\mathrm{H}}_{22}{\mathrm{O}}_{11}\right)$ to distilled water can also not conduct electricity as sugar does not dissociates into ions.

Therefore, sugar solution in distilled water cannot conduct electricity.
