Investigation on the conductive properties of copper sulphate solution. Aim I hope to measure the conductivity of copper sulphate solution. I will use a method similar to electrolysis to achieve this. The only difference will be that I am using an alternating current rather than a direct current so that copper from the copper sulphate solution will not be electrolysed. I chose this topic because I wanted to find out if the conductivity of copper sulphate solution changes with different cross-sectional areas. Equipment: Plastic container measuring L=0.13m, W=0.05m, H=0.06m Copper electrodes X2 Wires Crocodile clips AC power supply Ammeter Voltmeter Copper Sulphate solution (1 molar and 0.5 molar concentrations) Method: Firstly set up the equipment as shown in the following diagrams. 1. Ensure that the circuit is correctly connected, then fill container to height of 1cm with copper sulphate solution. 2. Turn on the power supply and increase from 0v to 2v. Note down the reading from the ammeter. 3. Increase current by 2v...
