1 Conductivity of strong and weak electrolytes TEC Related concepts Kohlrausch s law, equivalent conductivity, temperature dependence of conductivity, Ostwald s dilution law. Principle It is possible to differentiate between strong and weak electrolytes by measuring their electrical conductance. Strong electrolytes follow Kohlrausch s law, whereas weak electrolytes are described by Ostwald s dilution law. The examination of the concentration dependence of the conductivity allows the molar conductivities of infinitely diluted electrolytes to be determined, and facilitates the calculation of the degree of dissociation and the dissociation constants of weak electrolytes.

3 Conductivity of strong and weak electrolytes TEC - Combine the Cobra4 Sensor Unit Conductivity + with the Cobra4 Wireless-Link. - Start the PC and connect the Cobra4 Wireless Manager with a USB socket of the computer. - After the Cobra4 Wireless-Link has been switched on, the sensor is automatically recognized. An ID number (01) is allocated to the sensor, which is indicated in the display of the Cobra4 Wireless- Link. - Call up the Measure programme and boot the experiment Conductivity of strong and weak electrolytes: potassium chloride (experiment > open experiment). The measurement parameters for this experiment are loaded now. - For calibration: Pour some standard solution into a beaker and immerse the well-rinsed probe into the solution (Advice: Both platinum electrodes of the probe have to be covered completely with the solution). - In the Cobra4 Navigator under Devices double-click the Conductivity symbol. Now you can change some measurement parameters. - Enter the value for the conductivity at a given temperature under the menu point Calibration. You can find this value on the label of the standard solution (at 25 C C = 1413 µs / cm, see Fig. 2). Click the Apply button and finish the calibration with OK. - Procedure: When measuring the conductivity, always begin with the solution having the lowest concentration in each series of measurements. Before each new measurement, thoroughly rinse the probe, the glass beaker and the magnetic stirrer bar, first with distilled water and then with the solution to be subsequently measured. - Determine the conductivity of the distilled water that is used for the dilution of the solutions and note the result. This is to enable the conductivity of the water used to be taken into consideration in the evaluation. - Place a glass beaker containing a magnetic stirrer bar on the magnetic stirrer. Pour the first potassium chloride solution to be measured into the glass beaker, and immerse the previously well-rinsed conductivity cell to a depth of approximately 5 cm in the solution. - Adjust the magnetic stirrer bar to a medium stirring speed (Note: The stirring bar must not touch the measurement cell). - Start the measurement with. Record the first value by pressing. - Subsequently determine the respective conductivities of the other solutions by pressing, whereby in each case the solution with the next higher concentration is measured. - While recording the measuring series, pay strict attention to cleanliness as even the slightest trace of contaminants (e.g. by carrying over some of one solution into another) would result in the registration of erroneous data. - Stop the measurement by pressing. - Send all data to measure (see Fig. 3). - In measure click on to get the graph for conductivity.

5 Conductivity of strong and weak electrolytes TEC Theory and evaluation The resistance of a conductor having a uniform cross section is proportional to the length l an inversively proportional to the cross sectional area A of the conductor. The substance constant ρ is known as the specific resistance; its reciprocal κ as the specific conductivity, and the reciprocal of the resistance as the conductance L. It is usual to use ρ for metallic conductors and κ for electrolytes. The conductivity for an electrolytic solution results in the following: having the dimension Ω -1. cm -1. If the conductivity of a solution is to be measured, then the measurements of the cell (length an area) must be known. Therefore, the cell is usually calibrated with a solution with a known conductivity. The ratio of the measured to the tabulated conductivity of a calibration solution directly provides the ratio of the length to the cross section. This ratio is also known as the cell constant. Usually it can be found in the accompanying test certificate. As a result of the strong concentration dependency, the conductivity is not appropriate for comparing electrolytes. For these purposes it is better to determine the molar conductivity Λ. This is calculated from the specific conductivity κ and the concentration c (in mol. l -1 ) of the substance in the electrolyte solution: When the concentration dependence of the conductivity in electrolytes is examined, one finds that the conductivity basically increases with the concentration because the number of the charge carriers (ions) increases. The plot of molar conductivity versus concentration can be calculated with by setting the parameters as given in Fig. 7. In this operation you can also substract the conductivity of the distilled water. The two diagrams for potassium chloride and acetic acid are shown in Fig. 8.

6 TEC Conductivity of strong and weak electrolytes Fig. 8: Molar conductivities of aqueous potassium chloride and acetic acid solutions as functions of the concentration. The molar conductivity approaches a limit Λ with increasing dilution. This is the conductivity at infinite dilution. Kohlrausch found the following conformity to natural law for the concentration dependency of the molar conductivity for strong electrolytes: According to Kohlrausch s law, plotting the molar conductivity of KCl against the square root of the concentration should result in a straight line. This line s intersection with the ordinate is the molar conductivity at infinite dilution. Weak electrolytes do not dissociate completely and have a lower conductivity than strong electrolytes. As the concentration increases, the dissociation equilibrium shifts in the direction of non-dissociated molecules. The degree of dissociation α of weak electrolytes is the quotient of the molar conductivity divided by the molar conductivity at infinite dilution. Ostwald s dilution law is valid for weak electrolytes. It enables dissociation constants to be calculated: The limiting value of the molar conductivity of weak electrolytes at infinite dilution is first reached at extremely low concentrations; therefore, exact measurements in this are no longer possible. Consequently Λ cannot be obtained by extrapolating Λ m / c 0.5 -curves for weak electrolytes. The following equation is derived by transforming Ostwald s law of dilution: 6 PHYWE Systeme GmbH & Co. KG All rights reserved P
7 Conductivity of strong and weak electrolytes TEC From this equation it can be seen that a linear relationship exists between the reciprocal of the conductivity and the product of the molar conductivity and the concentration of weak electrolytes. Furthermore, Ostwald s law of dilution shows that the molar conductivity at infinite dilution can be obtained from the line s point of intersection of the line with the ordinate 1 / Λ m over c. Λ m.
