Embark on this electrifying adventure of conductivity testing. Grasp the difference between electrolytes and nonelectrolytes, the connection between concentration and conductivity, and appreciate the significance of ions in biological systems.
High School
Join Dr. One in this Labster simulation where you will unleash the power of chemistry in your classroom! Dive into the world of electrolytes and nonelectrolytes, master the correlation between concentration and conductivity, and discover the pivotal role of ions in biological systems. Learn the essential knowledge and engage in this interactive experiment that brings science to life.
Not just water The mission begins with understanding the concept of electrolytes and how they behave when dissolved in water solutions. You'll start by testing distilled water before learning how to prepare and test various solutions. Including the highly corrosive hydrochloric acid (HCl)!
Conductivity testingBy engaging in this hands-on experiment, you will gain practical knowledge of how to perform a conductivity test using various chemical substances, some of which are dangerous! Observe how they behave when dissolved in water and uncover if they allow the solution to conduct electricity. Which substances will light up the conductivity tester?
Ion concentrationYou will master how to handle dangerous substances and even how to prepare solutions of a higher concentration. This will reinforce your understanding of how electrolytes and nonelectrolytes behave. And to discover the relationship between ion concentration and conductivity.
Biological applicationsNow that you understand more about electrolytes you'll also learn about the vital role of ions, such as potassium, in biological systems, particularly in the proper functioning of the nervous system. Get ready to have fun while enhancing your knowledge of this important chemistry test.
