are you working in dS or microS? I had some unstable results also for different types of compost but I think you need to carry out the exoeriment again being very careful on the time you shake and the filtration. Also do not move the conductor while measuring. It should be clean before each measurement...

What is the relationship between conductivity and strength of bases?

As the strength of a base increases, its ability to ionize and produce more hydroxide ions also increases. This results in a higher conductivity of the base solution because the greater number of ions allows for better electrical conduction. Therefore, there is a positive relationship between the strength of bases and their conductivity.


How is to test electrical properties of polymers?

Most scientists just use either a resistance meter (also called an ohmmeter because the units it measures in are ohms) or a conductivity meter. A conductivity meter measures the ability of something to flow current, not the ability of it to resist current flow. You use one when you're dealing with extremely high resistances--in the hundreds, or thousands, of megohms. The unit for conductivity is the Mho--"ohm" spelled backwards.


Conductivity in a metal results from the metal atoms having?

Conductivity in a metal results from the metal atoms having loosely held electrons that are free to move and carry electric charge. These free electrons can easily flow through the metal lattice, allowing for the efficient transfer of electrical energy.

Why gold are being used in electrical wires?

For its superb conductivityAnswerGold is not used to make fuse wire. Fuse wire is usually made up of an alloy of various combinations of metal (e.g. tin and lead) which results in the wire having good conductivity and a low melting point. In fact, gold does NOT have 'superb conductivity'; it is a relatively-poor conductor when compared with silver, copper, and aluminium.

Why do covalent solutions have poor electrical conductivity?

Covalent solutions have poor electrical conductivity because covalent compounds do not dissociate into ions when dissolved in solution. Since ions are needed to conduct electricity, the lack of free ions in covalent solutions results in poor electrical conductivity.

Compare explain how the movements of electrons in electrical conductors and electrical insulaters affect the properties of the materials?

In electrical conductors, electrons can move freely, allowing for the transfer of electrical energy. This results in conductors having high electrical conductivity. In contrast, in insulators, electrons are tightly bound to their atoms and cannot move easily, leading to low electrical conductivity. Insulators have high resistance to the flow of electricity due to this lack of electron mobility.


What is ionic conductivity and how does it affect the performance of materials?

Ionic conductivity refers to the ability of a material to conduct electricity through the movement of ions. Higher ionic conductivity typically results in better performance of materials in applications such as batteries, fuel cells, and sensors, as it allows for efficient transport of ions and thus better electrical conductivity.
