Three Unknown Red Solutions

Discussion
The four experimental techniques used in this proposal was aimed to complete the goal of answering questions about the system of three unknown red solutions. Based on the experiments conducted and the data collected, I am able to conclude information about the three red solutions that will lead to a possible identity of each red solution. Starting with red solution #1, we are able to conclude that there are no nanoparticles in this solution and that is a molecular compound due to the fact that when potassium iodide was added, there was no color change and no precipitate formation to indicate that a chemical reaction had happened. Having no color change occur when an ionic compound is added to a solution means that the solution is
The reason that a color change occurred when KI was added to the solution was because KI is ionic and when it was added to Red #2, the molecules dissociated causing the color to change. Also, due to the fact that when ionic solutions are added to nanoparticles, they clump together and cause a color change, we can conclude that there are indeed nanoparticles in this red solution. There are a wide variety of ionic compounds to choose from that could potentially match the molecular structure of Red #2. In order to determine the identity of this solution, a future experiment will have to be conducted because there is not enough evidence to fully conclude what Red #2 is based off of the four experiments conducted. Since we know that Red #2 is ionic, we know that a precipitate will form if a certain ion is added to the solution and they are not soluble. A future experiment that can be performed to try and identify this red solution is to obtain 50 mL of red solution #2, a graduated cylinder, ten 50 mL beakers, a scale, a stir bar, and different elements that are known to be insoluble using a common solubility chart such as one found here: http://www.flinnsci.com/store/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=16645. Measure equal amounts of Red #2 into each of the beakers, then
There was also a color change in the solution when potassium iodide was added and nanoparticles were present. The reason that a color change occurred when KI was added to the solution was because KI is ionic and when it was added to Red #3, the molecules dissociated causing the color to change. Also, due to the fact that when ionic solutions are added to nanoparticles, they clump together and cause a color change, we can conclude that there are nanoparticles in this red solution. In order to determine the identity of this solution, a future experiment will have to be conducted because there is not enough evidence to fully conclude what Red #3 is based off of the four experiments conducted. Due to the strong conductivity of this red solution, it is possible that it is a strong acid or base because those are also ionic compounds. A future experiment that can be performed to try and identify this red solution is to obtain 50 mL of red solution #3, a graduated cylinder, five 50 mL beakers, a scale, a stir bar, deionized water, and all the strong acids and bases. We can then find the conductivity of each of the acids and bases using the same procedure as used for experiment 2 to see which acid or base has a conductivity most similar to Red
