Does a soluble salt necessarily implies a strong conductivity?
Mapes said:Hi johndoe,
You must give us your reasoning first, then we may be able to comment on it. What do you think? Can you think of any counterexamples?
Also, do you mean conductivity of the salt alone, or a solution of the salt in a solvent?
Conductivity is the measure of a material's ability to conduct electricity. It is a property that describes how easily an electrical current can pass through a substance.
Conductivity with soluble salts is measured by using a conductivity meter, which measures the flow of electricity through a solution. The more ions present in the solution, the higher the conductivity.
The concentration of a solution is directly proportional to its conductivity. This means that as the concentration of ions in a solution increases, so does its conductivity.
Soluble salts are good conductors of electricity because they dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. These ions are then free to move and carry an electrical current.
The conductivity of a solution containing soluble salts can be affected by several factors, including temperature, concentration, and the type of ions present. Additionally, the presence of impurities or other dissolved substances can also affect conductivity.
