Full transcript
- 0:04Greetings, dear students. Have you ever
- 0:08wondered why some substances conduct
- 0:10electric current while others do not?
- 0:14To answer this question, we will
- 0:15conduct an investigation into the
- 0:17electrical conductivity of various
- 0:19substances and their aqueous solutions.
- 0:21We will compare the results and find
- 0:24out what role ions play in conducting
- 0:26electric current. I suggest you not
- 0:29only observe but also predict the
- 0:31result before each experiment. Try to
- 0:35explain whether the light bulb will
- 0:37turn on, and check your hypothesis
- 0:39after the experiment. So, please open
- 0:42your notebooks and write down the topic
- 0:44: investigation of the electrical
- 0:46conductivity of substances and
- 0:47solutions. Objective: to experimentally
- 0:51investigate the electrical conductivity
- 0:53of certain substances and their aqueous
- 0:56solutions. To establish the connection
- 0:59between electrical conductivity and the
- 1:01presence of mobile charged particles.
- 1:04Equipment and materials. A device for
- 1:08determining electrical conductivity
- 1:10with a power source, electrodes, and a
- 1:12light bulb. Distilled water, sugar,
- 1:16citric acid, alkali, sodium hydroxide,
- 1:19copper sulfate, hydrochloric acid
- 1:22solution, glassware. Procedure. First,
- 1:28draw a table in which you will record
- 1:30the results of the research. Experiment
- 1:36one. Distilled water. Let's start our
- 1:39investigation with distilled water. It
- 1:41contains very few ions, so it conducts
- 1:44electric current extremely poorly. We
- 1:47immerse the electrodes in distilled
- 1:49water and observe the light bulb. As we
- 1:54can see, the light bulb does not light
- 1:56up. This means that the electric
- 1:59current in our experiment is
- 2:00insufficient for it to light up.
- 2:03Distilled water has extremely low
- 2:05electrical conductivity, so it is
- 2:07practically considered a dielectric.
- 2:10Experiment two. Sugar. Now let's check
- 2:13the electrical conductivity of dry
- 2:15sugar. Sugar belongs to molecular
- 2:18substances. Its particles are
- 2:20electrically neutral molecules. which
- 2:23cannot freely carry an electric charge.
- 2:26We check the sample using the device.
- 2:33The light bulb does not light up. Thus,
- 2:35under normal conditions, dry sugar does
- 2:38not conduct electric current in a way
- 2:41that our device could detect.
- 2:43Experiment three. Sugar solution. And
- 2:46now let's dissolve the sugar in water.
- 2:48It would seem that after dissolving,
- 2:50the properties of the substance could
- 2:52change. Let's check this. The light
- 3:00bulb still does not light up. Why?
- 3:07During dissolution, sugar breaks down
- 3:10into individual molecules that are
- 3:12evenly distributed among the water
- 3:14molecules. However, these molecules do
- 3:17not turn into ions. Therefore, the
- 3:19sugar solution practically does not
- 3:21conduct electric current. Dissolving
- 3:23substances in water is not always
- 3:25accompanied by the formation of ions.
- 3:28Experiment four. Citric acid. The next
- 3:32object of our research is citric acid.
- 3:35First, let's check the dry substance.
- 3:39As we can see, the light bulb does not
- 3:41light up. This is an expected result,
- 3:46as there are no free mobile ions in dry
- 3:48citric acid capable of ensuring a
- 3:50noticeable flow of current through the
- 3:53sample. But what will happen if we
- 3:56dissolve citric acid in water?
- 3:58Experiment five. Citric acid solution.
- 4:02We prepare an aqueous solution of
- 4:04citric acid and immerse the electrodes.
- 4:12Note that the light bulb still does not
- 4:15light up. Can we conclude that a citric
- 4:18acid solution does not conduct electric
- 4:20current at all? No, we cannot. In an
- 4:25aqueous solution, only a small portion
- 4:27of its molecules form ions, so the
- 4:29solution conducts electricity, but its
- 4:31conductivity may not be sufficient for
- 4:33our device's light bulb to glow. So, as
- 4:37we can see, the result depends on both
- 4:39the properties of the solution and the
- 4:41sensitivity of the device. Experiment
- 4:44six. Crystalline alkali. Moving on to
- 4:47examine alkali. Unlike sugar, alkali is
- 4:50an ionic substance. Its crystal lattice
- 4:53contains positively and negatively
- 4:55charged ions. However, in the solid
- 4:59state, these ions are fixed in the
- 5:01crystal lattice nodes and cannot move
- 5:03freely. We check the electrical
- 5:06conductivity of the sample and see that
- 5:12the bulb does not light up. Therefore,
- 5:14the mere presence of ions in a
- 5:16substance does not guarantee electrical
- 5:18conductivity. It is important that
- 5:20these ions are able to move. Experiment
- 5:23seven. Alkali solution. Now let's
- 5:26examine an aqueous solution of alkali.
- 5:28After dissolving in water, the ions
- 5:30become mobile. They can move under the
- 5:33influence of an electric field and
- 5:36carry an electric charge. As we can see
- 5:46, the bulb lights up. This indicates
- 5:48that the solution conducts electric
- 5:51current well. It is the mobility of the
- 5:53ions that explains this difference.
- 5:55Experiment eight. Copper sulfate. The
- 5:59next substance is copper sulfate or
- 6:01copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate. It is
- 6:04easily recognized by the characteristic
- 6:06blue color of its crystals. Let's check
- 6:08the electrical conductivity of the dry
- 6:10sample. The bulb does not light up. As
- 6:14in the case of solid alkali, the ions
- 6:17are contained in a crystal lattice but
- 6:19do not have the ability to move freely.
- 6:22Therefore, solid copper sulfate does
- 6:25not ensure a noticeable passage of
- 6:27electric current in our experiment.
- 6:31Experiment nine. Copper (II) sulfate
- 6:34solution. Now we dissolve copper
- 6:37sulfate in water. A blue solution is
- 6:40formed. Let's check its electrical
- 6:43conductivity. The bulb lights up.
- 6:47During dissolution in water, mobile
- 6:50ions are formed. copper and sulfate
- 6:54ions. They provide the transfer of
- 6:57electric charge. Solid copper sulfate
- 7:00did not cause the bulb to glow, but its
- 7:02aqueous solution conducts electric
- 7:04current. Thus, electrical conductivity
- 7:08depends on whether the charged
- 7:10particles can move freely. Experiment
- 7:1310. Hydrochloric acid solution.
- 7:17Hydrochloric acid is an aqueous
- 7:18solution of hydrogen chloride. Hydrogen
- 7:22chloride forms hydrogen ions and
- 7:24chloride anions almost completely. The
- 7:27bulb lights up. This means that the
- 7:30solution conducts electric current well
- 7:32. Hydrochloric acid belongs to strong
- 7:35electrolytes because it ionizes almost
- 7:37completely in water. Compare this
- 7:40experiment with the experiment
- 7:41involving citric acid solution. In both
- 7:44cases, we are dealing with acids, but
- 7:46the results differ. In the hydrochloric
- 7:50acid solution, the bulb lights up, but
- 7:52in the citric acid solution, it does
- 7:53not. Next, write the conclusions for
- 7:57the work. I invite you to answer the
- 8:00following questions: why was the bulb
- 8:02not glowing in the experiments with dry
- 8:05substances? What does the electrical
- 8:08conductivity of solutions depend on?
- 8:10Why can't one claim that a solution
- 8:12does not conduct current at all just
- 8:15because the bulb did not light up?
- 8:19Reflection. In conclusion, I suggest
- 8:22you reflect on these questions. What
- 8:24new things did you learn during the
- 8:27research? Which result surprised you
- 8:29the most? Thank you for your work. I
- 8:33hope today's experiment helped you see
- 8:36that chemistry is not just formulas and
- 8:38equations, but also a chance to explore
- 8:41the properties of substances and
- 8:43explain the phenomena around us. Until
- 8:47next time, and happy researching.
