Conductivity of Ionic and Molecular Aqueous Solutions


Abstract

Aqueous solutions that have free ions have higher conductivity values than solutions with most molecules. The purpose of the experiment was to see if ionic strength of an aqueous solution determines its conductivity. We tested each compound by putting the conductivity probe into its aqueous solution. Then the computer would analyze the data and give us a conductivity value. After each solution was tested, we used deionized water to clean the probe and wiped it dry with a Kimwipe. In the experiment, solutions with more ions possessed higher conductivity values than solutions with just molecules. After comparing the conductivity values, it was concluded that solutions with free ions have higher conductivity than an aqueous solution containing molecules. So the ionic strength of an aqueous solution does determine the conductivity.


Introduction

To measure conductivity we needed to understand the......
