<b>Introduction</b><br> This lab introduces you to the properties of strong and weak electrolytes and non-electrolyte solutions. An electrolyte is a material that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts an electric current. To carry this current, an electrolyte breaks up into its ions and the ions carry the current to complete the circuit. A strong electrolyte produces a large number of ions giving high conductivity values. <br> <i>Basically electrolytes will conduct, non-electrolyte won't</i><br> Example: H<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub>-->3 H<sup>+</sup> + PO<sub>4</sub><sup>-3</sup><br> A non- electrolyte does not break up into ions.<br> Example: CH<sub>3</sub>OH<sub>(l)</sub> --> CH<sub>3</sub>OH<sub>(aq)</sub><br> <b>Procedures</b><br> See lab<br> <b>Tips</b><br> You don't need a lot of the solution, just enough to cover the probe<br>
