Investigating the factors that affect the conductance of different solutions Introduction Just as metallic conductors have a resistance when a current is passed through them so do ionic solutions. However, when dealing with solution it is more convenient to look at its conductance, G, rather than its resistance and is simply the reciprocal of the resistance, R. The unit of measurement is siemens,?-1 G=1/R. We can also work the conductance from knowing the current and the voltage G=I/V. The ability of a solution to conduce electricity is due to the dissociation of the compounds presence into its constituent ions. Theses ions play the same role, in solutions, as electrons do in metallic conductors, they transport the electric charge from one electrode to the other. Aim To investigate how certain factors affect the conductance of a solution. The factors I have considered investigating, that may have an affect on the conductances of a solution are: * different concentrations...
