Experiment 1
Electrolytes: Do some solutions conduct electricity better than others?
Purpose/Hypothesis
Using a voltmeter, we can determine how well different substances act as electrolytes by measuring their resistanceA partial or complete limiting of the flow of electrical current through a material. The common unit of measure is the ohm. when they are dissolved in water. The lower the resistance, the more conductive the electrolyte. In this experiment, you will predict whether certain substances are electrolytes. Before you begin, make an educated guess about the outcome of this experiment based on your knowledge of electricity and conductivity. This educated guess, or prediction, is your hypothesisAn idea in the form of a statement that can...
