Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Water conductivity is related to the concentration of the dissolved salts in the solution. Sea water contains salt, which is composed of (Na+) sodium and (Cl) chloride ions. When salt is mixed with water, water serves as a dispersion medium for the movement of ions and electrons, which is responsible for electrical conductance. Salt solution conducts electric current by the movement of ions. The sodium and chloride ions are free to move about everywhere in the water as positively and negatively charged ions. This split-up of charges allows the solution to conduct electricity.
