  1. 0:04Greetings, dear students. Have you ever
  2. 0:08wondered why some substances conduct
  3. 0:10electric current while others do not?
  4. 0:14To answer this question, we will
  5. 0:15conduct an investigation into the
  6. 0:17electrical conductivity of various
  7. 0:19substances and their aqueous solutions.
  8. 0:21We will compare the results and find
  9. 0:24out what role ions play in conducting
  10. 0:26electric current. I suggest you not
  11. 0:29only observe but also predict the
  12. 0:31result before each experiment. Try to
  13. 0:35explain whether the light bulb will
  14. 0:37turn on, and check your hypothesis
  15. 0:39after the experiment. So, please open
  16. 0:42your notebooks and write down the topic
  17. 0:44: investigation of the electrical
  18. 0:46conductivity of substances and
  19. 0:47solutions. Objective: to experimentally
  20. 0:51investigate the electrical conductivity
  21. 0:53of certain substances and their aqueous
  22. 0:56solutions. To establish the connection
  23. 0:59between electrical conductivity and the
  24. 1:01presence of mobile charged particles.
  25. 1:04Equipment and materials. A device for
  26. 1:08determining electrical conductivity
  27. 1:10with a power source, electrodes, and a
  28. 1:12light bulb. Distilled water, sugar,
  29. 1:16citric acid, alkali, sodium hydroxide,
  30. 1:19copper sulfate, hydrochloric acid
  31. 1:22solution, glassware. Procedure. First,
  32. 1:28draw a table in which you will record
  33. 1:30the results of the research. Experiment
  34. 1:36one. Distilled water. Let's start our
  35. 1:39investigation with distilled water. It
  36. 1:41contains very few ions, so it conducts
  37. 1:44electric current extremely poorly. We
  38. 1:47immerse the electrodes in distilled
  39. 1:49water and observe the light bulb. As we
  40. 1:54can see, the light bulb does not light
  41. 1:56up. This means that the electric
  42. 1:59current in our experiment is
  43. 2:00insufficient for it to light up.
  44. 2:03Distilled water has extremely low
  45. 2:05electrical conductivity, so it is
  46. 2:07practically considered a dielectric.
  47. 2:10Experiment two. Sugar. Now let's check
  48. 2:13the electrical conductivity of dry
  49. 2:15sugar. Sugar belongs to molecular
  50. 2:18substances. Its particles are
  51. 2:20electrically neutral molecules. which
  52. 2:23cannot freely carry an electric charge.
  53. 2:26We check the sample using the device.
  54. 2:33The light bulb does not light up. Thus,
  55. 2:35under normal conditions, dry sugar does
  56. 2:38not conduct electric current in a way
  57. 2:41that our device could detect.
  58. 2:43Experiment three. Sugar solution. And
  59. 2:46now let's dissolve the sugar in water.
  60. 2:48It would seem that after dissolving,
  61. 2:50the properties of the substance could
  62. 2:52change. Let's check this. The light
  63. 3:00bulb still does not light up. Why?
  64. 3:07During dissolution, sugar breaks down
  65. 3:10into individual molecules that are
  66. 3:12evenly distributed among the water
  67. 3:14molecules. However, these molecules do
  68. 3:17not turn into ions. Therefore, the
  69. 3:19sugar solution practically does not
  70. 3:21conduct electric current. Dissolving
  71. 3:23substances in water is not always
  72. 3:25accompanied by the formation of ions.
  73. 3:28Experiment four. Citric acid. The next
  74. 3:32object of our research is citric acid.
  75. 3:35First, let's check the dry substance.
  76. 3:39As we can see, the light bulb does not
  77. 3:41light up. This is an expected result,
  78. 3:46as there are no free mobile ions in dry
  79. 3:48citric acid capable of ensuring a
  80. 3:50noticeable flow of current through the
  81. 3:53sample. But what will happen if we
  82. 3:56dissolve citric acid in water?
  83. 3:58Experiment five. Citric acid solution.
  84. 4:02We prepare an aqueous solution of
  85. 4:04citric acid and immerse the electrodes.
  86. 4:12Note that the light bulb still does not
  87. 4:15light up. Can we conclude that a citric
  88. 4:18acid solution does not conduct electric
  89. 4:20current at all? No, we cannot. In an
  90. 4:25aqueous solution, only a small portion
  91. 4:27of its molecules form ions, so the
  92. 4:29solution conducts electricity, but its
  93. 4:31conductivity may not be sufficient for
  94. 4:33our device's light bulb to glow. So, as
  95. 4:37we can see, the result depends on both
  96. 4:39the properties of the solution and the
  97. 4:41sensitivity of the device. Experiment
  98. 4:44six. Crystalline alkali. Moving on to
  99. 4:47examine alkali. Unlike sugar, alkali is
  100. 4:50an ionic substance. Its crystal lattice
  101. 4:53contains positively and negatively
  102. 4:55charged ions. However, in the solid
  103. 4:59state, these ions are fixed in the
  104. 5:01crystal lattice nodes and cannot move
  105. 5:03freely. We check the electrical
  106. 5:06conductivity of the sample and see that
  107. 5:12the bulb does not light up. Therefore,
  108. 5:14the mere presence of ions in a
  109. 5:16substance does not guarantee electrical
  110. 5:18conductivity. It is important that
  111. 5:20these ions are able to move. Experiment
  112. 5:23seven. Alkali solution. Now let's
  113. 5:26examine an aqueous solution of alkali.
  114. 5:28After dissolving in water, the ions
  115. 5:30become mobile. They can move under the
  116. 5:33influence of an electric field and
  117. 5:36carry an electric charge. As we can see
  118. 5:46, the bulb lights up. This indicates
  119. 5:48that the solution conducts electric
  120. 5:51current well. It is the mobility of the
  121. 5:53ions that explains this difference.
  122. 5:55Experiment eight. Copper sulfate. The
  123. 5:59next substance is copper sulfate or
  124. 6:01copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate. It is
  125. 6:04easily recognized by the characteristic
  126. 6:06blue color of its crystals. Let's check
  127. 6:08the electrical conductivity of the dry
  128. 6:10sample. The bulb does not light up. As
  129. 6:14in the case of solid alkali, the ions
  130. 6:17are contained in a crystal lattice but
  131. 6:19do not have the ability to move freely.
  132. 6:22Therefore, solid copper sulfate does
  133. 6:25not ensure a noticeable passage of
  134. 6:27electric current in our experiment.
  135. 6:31Experiment nine. Copper (II) sulfate
  136. 6:34solution. Now we dissolve copper
  137. 6:37sulfate in water. A blue solution is
  138. 6:40formed. Let's check its electrical
  139. 6:43conductivity. The bulb lights up.
  140. 6:47During dissolution in water, mobile
  141. 6:50ions are formed. copper and sulfate
  142. 6:54ions. They provide the transfer of
  143. 6:57electric charge. Solid copper sulfate
  144. 7:00did not cause the bulb to glow, but its
  145. 7:02aqueous solution conducts electric
  146. 7:04current. Thus, electrical conductivity
  147. 7:08depends on whether the charged
  148. 7:10particles can move freely. Experiment
  149. 7:1310. Hydrochloric acid solution.
  150. 7:17Hydrochloric acid is an aqueous
  151. 7:18solution of hydrogen chloride. Hydrogen
  152. 7:22chloride forms hydrogen ions and
  153. 7:24chloride anions almost completely. The
  154. 7:27bulb lights up. This means that the
  155. 7:30solution conducts electric current well
  156. 7:32. Hydrochloric acid belongs to strong
  157. 7:35electrolytes because it ionizes almost
  158. 7:37completely in water. Compare this
  159. 7:40experiment with the experiment
  160. 7:41involving citric acid solution. In both
  161. 7:44cases, we are dealing with acids, but
  162. 7:46the results differ. In the hydrochloric
  163. 7:50acid solution, the bulb lights up, but
  164. 7:52in the citric acid solution, it does
  165. 7:53not. Next, write the conclusions for
  166. 7:57the work. I invite you to answer the
  167. 8:00following questions: why was the bulb
  168. 8:02not glowing in the experiments with dry
  169. 8:05substances? What does the electrical
  170. 8:08conductivity of solutions depend on?
  171. 8:10Why can't one claim that a solution
  172. 8:12does not conduct current at all just
  173. 8:15because the bulb did not light up?
  174. 8:19Reflection. In conclusion, I suggest
  175. 8:22you reflect on these questions. What
  176. 8:24new things did you learn during the
  177. 8:27research? Which result surprised you
  178. 8:29the most? Thank you for your work. I
  179. 8:33hope today's experiment helped you see
  180. 8:36that chemistry is not just formulas and
  181. 8:38equations, but also a chance to explore
  182. 8:41the properties of substances and
  183. 8:43explain the phenomena around us. Until
  184. 8:47next time, and happy researching.
