Lab #2: Conductivity of Solutions Pre-Lab / Data Page:
Introduction: This experiment was designed to demonstrate the distinction between ionic and molecular substances. Finding conductivity values, counting the amount and concentration of ions in the solution, and comparing monoatomic and polyatomic ions were the three main goals. Compounds are either categorized as ionic or molecular based on their characteristics. Polar solvents cause the dissociation of ionic compounds, while covalent bonds keep the atoms of molecules securely together. Conductivity is influenced by the quantity, frequency, and charge that each individual charge carrier carries. In most aqueous solutions, a larger concentration of dissolved salts will lead to the formation of additional ions, increasing conductivity. A solution's conductivity rises as its concentration does. The proportionality of the relationship is usually present. As the ion concentration increases, so does the conductivity. Due to size, polyatomic ions are less conductive than monatomic ones. Using the conductivity sensor, we first recorded the conductivity of the solutions indicated on the data page. The conductivity of CH3OH combined with 70 mL of pure water was then measured. We repeated the process with several solutions and noted the conductivity for each drop added (8 times). Finally, we investigate the NH4NO3's +1/-1 ionic species. In order to do this, we repeat the procedure and record the information for each drop. On the Excel graphs below, data will be shown and labeled.
