Solutions and their Electrical Conductivities
Objectives:
1. Enumerate the different factors effecting (a) solubility and (b) the rate of
dissolving a substance.
2. Identify the solvents in which certain solutes are most soluble.
3. Classify substances as electrolytes or non-electrolytes, and
4. Explain why is substance is classified as an electrolytes or non-electrolytes.
Materials:
4 pcs. Crystals of blue vitriol (same size)
Table salt
Kerosene
Naphthalene powder
3 M sulphuric acid
Ethyl Alcohol
10 mL of 1 M of each of the following solutions (for part C)
Sodium acetate
Hydrochloric acid
Ammonium Hydroxide
Acetic Acid
Sodium Hydroxide
Sodium chloride
Tap Water
Apparatus:
12pcs. Test tubes
Mortar and pestle
Calibrated Test tube
Safety glasses
Stirring rod
Stopwatch
Conductivity apparatus
Procedures and Observations:
I. Solubility of different solutes in different solvent.
1. Measure 2 micro spatulas of table salt and place it in test tube 1. Add 5 mL of
tap water then shake the test tube. To test tube 2, place another 2 micro
spatula full of table salt and add 5 mL of kerosene. Observe what happens in
each test tube.
Adding table salt and water together, it forms as a solution but adding
table salt and kerosene, it does not dissolve.
Decreasing rate of dissolving: B1 (a), (b), (d), (c). B1 (a) has no factors
while (b) was the grinding of crystals. B1 (c) was the stirring and
grinding. Lastly, (d) was putting of the crystals in a hot water then
stirred.
in our encounter with different chemicals and also their conductivity. It makes us
aware of the safety precautions that should be made in case of anything
happens. We will be safe enough knowing this things and may save our lives
