Determination Of The Conductivity Of The Solution

1. Objective of experiment
 can distinguish between electrolyte and non-electrolyte solutions
 can determine the conductivity of a solution in a simple way

2. Basic theory
Electrolytes are compounds that are able to conduct electric current when dissolved
in water, while non-electrolytes are compounds that cannot conduct electricity.
Electrical conductivity is the ability of a material to conduct an electrical current

3. Experimental procedure
In the experimental procedure, there are 2 parts, including:
Tools and Materials
The tool is:
a. Tools
 beaker 250 ml (beakers are usually used as a place to react materials, a place to
accommodate materials)
 volumetric flask 100 ml (usually use to dilute certain substance)
 measuring pipette 10 ml (used to transfer liquids or solutions into containers of
various volume sizes)
 conductivity tool (use for measuring conductivity of solution)

b. Material
materials we have to prepare is:
 NaCl 2 molarity 100 ml
 aquadest
 kerosene
 ethanol
Work prosedures

1. Preparation of NaCl solution

 make a concentration of 2 M NaCl solution as much as 100 ml
 then dilute the solution to a concentration of 1 molarity
 in the same way the 1 molaritas NaCl solution, dilute again with the
respective concentrations of 0.1 molarity, 0.01, molarity, 0.001 molarity

2. Conductivity measurement
 set the tool
 measure the conductivity of each NaCl solution
 record the measurement results
 do the same procedure for kerosene and ethanol
