A fact from Conductivity (electrolytic) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 19 May 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know ... that while the electrical conductivity of pure water is very low, the conductivity of drinking water can be thousands of times greater? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/May.

If power plant water chemistry, it is common to compare AC and DC - but no mention of it here. Would an expert care to provide the details, or should I have a go? (Careful - I am only a mechanical engineer!)--Graham Proud (talk) 02:30, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What are the alternatives to ion association in explaining the minimum?--188.26.22.131 (talk) 09:38, 19 August 2013 (UTC) The conductivity is measuring water. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.164.238.237 (talk) 19:29, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The connection between electrotytic conductivity and the normal concentration, although not explicitly detailed in the articles, is that that electrolytic conductivity has two expressions: molar and equivalent and the normal concentration (of a ionic solution which has electrolytic conductivity) is the equivalent concentration of ions.--5.15.207.48 (talk) 14:53, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Are there some data available concerning numerical value differences of conductivity due to isotopic effects in heavy water (lithium) ionic solutions compared to light water? A source by an author (Gary Taubes), used in cold fusion article, makes reference to such a difference but it seems to not mention some numerical values.--188.27.144.144 (talk) 10:10, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article mentions that the conductivity is measured at frequency of current of 1-3 kHz. Is this frequency enough to eliminate the possibility of electrolysis?--188.26.22.131 (talk) 15:57, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article should specify the connection between conductivity and the thermodynamic activity coeffient.--188.26.22.131 (talk) 12:55, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
