e. Write the formulas of all solute particles (ions and/or molecules) present, listing the most
abundant kind
of particle first.
3. EFFECT OF MIXING REAGENTS
a. Take a clean spot plate to the reagent bench. Fill each separate well of the spot plate
all the way to the
top with each of the solutions listed in part 3(a) on page 8. For the pairs of reagents listed, you will test
the conductivity of each solution separately by using the conductivity probe. Then, you will mix the pair
of solutions by using a clean medicine dropper to transfer the contents of one well into the other. Measure
the conductivity after mixing. You should be able to recognize the changes in the number of ions present.
i. Record your observations.
ii.
Write molecular-, total ionic-,
and net ionic equations
iii. Explain the observed electrical conductivity by listing the formulas of the ions present in
solution after the reaction has taken place.
Note: The ions listed as products in the total ionic equations
are responsible for the observed electrical conductivity. These include the spectator ions(ions that do not
participate in the chemical reactions) and the ions produced in the chemical reactions.
b. Again take a clean spot plate to the reagent bench. Fill each separate well of the spot plate
all the way
to the top with each of the solutions listed in part 3(b) on page 8. Measure the conductivity and proceed as
you did in part 3(a) above.
4. DETECTING THE END POINT OF AN ACID-BASE REACTION BY MEASURING THE
ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY
Take a clean spot plate to the reagent bench. Fill a separate well of the spot plate
all the way to the top
with 0.10 M Ba(OH)
2
. Into another well of the spot plate fill
all the way to the top with 0.10 M H
2
SO

.
Measure the conductivity of each solution by using the conductivity probe. Record your observations.
Now, in a clean
small beaker fill it with 5 mL of 0.10 M H
2
SO
4
, place the conductivity probe into the
solution
and then slowly add the 0.10 M Ba(OH)
2
solution drop by drop. Mix well after the addition of
each drop by gently swirling the beaker. Monitor the electrical conductivity until the conductivity
measurement shows no conductivity. Show the non-conducting mixture with your measured conductivtiy
to your instructor and get his/ her initial on page 9. Write your explanation on page 9 based on the
chemical equations for the reaction.
Now add more drops of Ba(OH)
2
to the non-conducting mixture until the electrical conductivity is
resumed. Explain in terms of the ions present.
Dispose of the Barium mixture in a special waste container labeled: BaSO

waste
Dispose of the calcium chloride/sodium carbonate mixture in a special waste container
labeled: CaCO

waste.
Dispose of your solutions by pouring them in the sink and washing them down with water.

5. CONDUCTIVITY OF WATER
a. Test the conductivity of water, using the conductivity probe. Notice that the conductivity you will
observe for tap water is due to the presence of dissolved minerals.
b. Record the response of the conductivity probe on table C, page 9.
6. CONDUCTIVITY OF IONIC COMPOUNDS AND METALS
Test the conductivity of solids listed on page 10 using the LED conductivity indicator. Be sure that “both”
probes are dry and in contact with the material being tested.
To dry the probes, blot the excess water with
a tissue. Record the response of the LED on table D, page 10.
