Consider the following statements:

Deionized water is free of dissolved minerals and salts because of a process that removes ions.
The deionization process involves the use of activated carbon filters.
Pure deionized water is highly conductive as it contains ions that can conduct electricity.
Deionized water is commonly used in laboratories because of its high purity.

Explanation:

Statement 2 is incorrect. While activated carbon filters are used for removing organic contaminants and chlorine, they are not specifically responsible for the ion removal process in deionization. Cation and anion resin beds are primarily used for this purpose.

Statement 3 is also incorrect. Pure deionized water is, in fact, a poor conductor of electricity because it lacks ions. It becomes conductive when contaminants or ions are introduced.
