Ionic Solution Conductivity Measurement July 29, 2024   by  Shivbalak Tiwari The measurement of the conductivity of ionic solutions involves determining how well the solution can conduct electricity. This is typically quantified using a parameter called conductivity (or specific conductance), which is defined as the ability of the solution to conduct an electric current. Here are the steps generally involved in measuring the conductivity of ionic solutions: Preparation of the Solution : Dissolve a known quantity of the ionic compound in a solvent, usually water, to prepare the solution whose conductivity you want to measure. Calibration of the Conductivity Meter : Use standard solutions with known conductivities to calibrate the conductivity meter. This ensures that the readings you get are accurate. Temperature Control : Conductivity is temperature-dependent, so it’s important to control or measure the temperature of the solution. Many modern conductivity meters have built-in...
