Abstract
Electric conductivity is the observation or measurement of the capacity of the
electrical current in or to an object or material. Substances that have electrolytes in their
aqueous solution can conduct electricity and it differs to a strong electrolyte, a weak
electrolyte, or a non-electrolyte. The experiment is performed by dissolving various
samples in water, and with the use of an electrical apparatus, their conductivity was
investigated. Factors affecting the electric conductivity of an aqueous solution are its
concentration of ions, type of dissolved compound, and its temperature. Through
conducting this experiment, it is concluded that the conductivities of different water
soluble molecular compounds differ throughout testing of various examples and what
they are being paired with. It is important to study electrolytes, since they are a vital
thing to have in our body. Conducting this experiment helped in understanding what
electrolytes are.
I. Introduction
Electrolytes are composed of acids, bases, and salts that produces cations and
anions which move between electrodes subjected to electric current. The extent of
electrical conductivity depends on the degree ionization of the substances dissolved in
solution.
II. Materials and Methods
III. Results and Discussion
For the case of the tap water, since it has other materials present in the water
such as water treatment chemicals, metal, and some salts and minerals, it can have
electric conductivity[4].
Table 3. Non-Electrolytes
There are a number of factors that may affect the conductivity of an electrolyte.
First is the concentration of ions. It is given that the higher concentration of ions a
solution has, the higher its conductivity will be. Second, the type of compound that
dissolves in the water. The compound may be a strong, weak, or non-electrolyte, and if
dissolved, can affect the electric conductivity of the solution. And lastly, its temperature.
The warmer its temperature is, the higher its solubility would be because all substances
generally dissolve better in hot temperatures, and if more of the substance is dissolved,
more of its ions will dissociate and be concentrated in the solution[6]
