Conductivity Lab


In this conductivity lab, we used many different types of solutions such as . After following the procedures for this lab Leigh and I learned that if there are more ions in a specific solution than the conductivity level is likely to increase. 
As you can see from the results up above in the solution of lactase hydrate and distilled water, the number of ions were at such a limited rate that the intensity was rated a 0 due to the fact that there was no visible reaction. However, when we looked at the mixture of calcium sulphate and distilled water, along with potassium chloride and distilled water they both showed outstanding conductivity. The ions that these two substances portrayed were clearly visible to the naked eye and resulted in a high conductivity level. Although the substances I have already discussed either had a high or very little conductivity level due to the ions, there are those that were simply mediocre or ranked a medium ion conductivity level. These substances included calcium sulphate and the corn starch mixture. The conductivity level in these substances were just average. There was not much to them, but still enough to be existent. Overall, conductivity levels vary depending on each substance or mixture being tested for the conductivity of ions.
