Conductivity and concentrations
To determine the relation between current intensity and concentration of a strong electrolyte solution.

الجانب العلمي وراء هذه التجربة
Substances that dissociate into ions are called electrolytes. Acids, bases and salts are electrolytes, and their aqueous solutions conduct an electric current. Sodium chloride as a crystal does not conduct, but dissolved in water its Na+ and Cl− ions allow current to flow.

أسئلة للطلاب
- Which solution conducts more current?
- Why?
ما يمكن توقعه
<p>0 A current is measured testing distilled water because distilled water does not conduct electricity.</p><p>Current increases according to the concentration because of the increasing amount of ions present in the solution. A higher value of current is measured every time the solution is replaced with a more concentrated one.</p><p>As concentration increases a greenish colour appears (due to formation of copper ions in solution) and some bubbles may appear (due to the formation of chlorine gas) at the electrodes.</p><p>At the cathode (–), some formation of hydrogen occurs because of the reduction of water. At the anode (+), some formation of chlorine occurs because of the oxidation of chloride ions.</p>
التخلص
Dispose of the solutions into the waste container or into the sink.
