Physics - Factors Affecting Conductivity Of Solutions Flashcards
0
Q
Solubility of substances
A
Soluble - can conduct (there are free electrons)
Insoluble - can’t conduct (no free electrons)
1
Q
Nature of substance
A
Ionic compounds usually dissociate into ions. Covalent molecular bonds are insoluble usually and can’t conduct
2
Q
Concentration of the solution
A
Higher the concentration of an electrolyte, more number of ions, more conductivity
3
Q
Temperature of solution
A
Some more soluble at low temperature while others high
