Homework Statement
For instance I have NaCl. I found a relationship between conductivity of NaCl in water and concentration of NaCl in the water. It's; conductivity is approx 0.5 concentration
Is it correct that the change in concentration gives the number of ions?
For example say I start off with conductivity of 100 microsiemens/cm and a concentration of 50 mg/L for the NaCl. At the end let's say I have 50 microsiemens/cm and a concentration of 25 mg/L.
25 mg/L = 0.025 g/L = 4.3 x 10^-4 Mol/L = 4.3 x 10^-4 M using the molar mass of NaCl of 58.44 g/Mol
Is the change in ion concentration 25 mg/L = 4.3 x 10^-4 M?
Or can you get an "actual" number change for example a change of 1000 ions let's say. Or is change in ion concentration always generally put in terms of M?
Thanks
