Conductivity Solutions Abstract: We produced conductivity tests in water and other various solutions with a computer faced Conductivity Probe using the unit of microsiemens per centimeter (uS/cm) to find out which solutions had a high conductivity and which solutions had a low conductivity. Many different solutions vary in conductivity due to the ratio of ions. Different levels of ions have an impact on conductivity because of the different charges and different types of bonds. Conductivity is

Post-Lab Questions 1. Using the information provided in the Introduction and your observations from Part 1‚ hypothesize as to the type of electrolyte the following solutions would be. Justify the hypothesis from a chemical standpoint. a. Aqueous Sodium Hydroxide—NaOH (aq) is a very strong base‚ which will completely disassociate into Na+ and OH- ions‚ which would make it a very strong electrolyte. Chemical reaction of the disassociation of Sodium Hydroxide: NaOH (aq)Na+ (aq)+ OH-(aq)

The walls of the Taj Muhal are composed of a marble-like substance ( CaCO3) that corrodes and eventually crumbles when reacted with acid rain(H2SO4). Not only is the Taj Muhal suffering‚ but also other historic landmarks across the world. This is

Experiment 4: Conductivity of electrolyte solutions (Dated: October 29‚ 2009) I. INTRODUCTION Pure water does not conduct electricity‚ but any solvated ionic species would contribute to conduction of electricity. An ionically conducting solution is called an electrolyte solution and the compound‚ which produces the ions as it dissolves‚ is called an electrolyte. A strong electrolyte is a compound that will completely dissociate into ions in water. Correspondingly‚ a weak electrolyte dissolves

Chemistry December 14‚ 2010 Conductivity of Ionic solutions Introduction This lab report is about the conductivity of ionic solutions. In class we have been discussing wether all ionic solutions conduct equally well. If an solvent solution conducts electricity‚ then it must contain ions. So measuring the conductance of solutions can tell you whether the solutes in the solution are dissociated into ions. (Conductivity) Any type of solution‚ even ionic solutions‚ provide resistance to the flow

Purpose: To observe the reactions of specific aqueous solutions with specific aqueous reagents. Introduction: A solution is as a homogeneous mixture containing two or more substances. Reagents are added to solutions to create a chemical reaction or added to see if anything occurs. Reagents can be added to solutions to see if there is a presence of other substances. For example‚ iodine added to a lead solution. Iodine would be the reagent and would cause a chemical reaction confirming the presence

Lab Report Electrical Conductivity Introduction There are some substances that are capable of conducting electricity‚ and the reason they conduct electricity is because of the type of compound the substance is. Electrolytes or any ionic compound conduct electricity and nonelectrolytes do not conduct electricity. An Ionic compound is formed from the electrical attraction between anions and cations‚ typically a metal with a non-metal‚ except hydrogen. When an ionic compound forms‚ the anion

THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS (pp. 94-98) Electrolytes – forms ions when dissolved in water (or certain other solvents) and thus produce solutions that conduct electricity. Strong electrolytes – ionize essentially completely Weak electrolytes – ionize only partially Solution of weak electrolyte will be a poorer conductor than a solution containing an equal concentration of a strong electrolyte Brønsted-Lowry theory Acid is a proton donor Base is a proton acceptor H2O + HNO2 H3O+ +

Solubility‚ Crystallization and Melting Point Determination Post-Lab Discussion Guidelines: Part 2A and 2C: Draw tables (as in textbook) showing which combinations were soluble/miscible and which were insoluble/immiscible. Explain why this is so. Why are certain chemicals soluble/miscible when others are not? Part 3A: Calculate % recovery (this is not the same as % yield – see handout from the first day of lab if you’re confused)‚ and determine melting point of your product. Discuss % recovery
