1. When placed in 1.00 L water, the conductivity meter shows a low conductivity reading.
2. Yes, the solution conducts electricity. This is indicated by the fact that the conductivity meter registers a value above zero.
3. Changing the amount of water does not significantly affect conductivity. The conductivity reading remains relatively constant, indicating that the concentration of ions in the solution remains the same regardless of the volume of water.

A. Click on “show values” in the concentration section. Drag the conductivity meter and place the positive (+) and negative (-) ends in the water. Answer the questions below.
1. What do you observe about the conductivity meter when placed in 1.00 L water?
2. Does the solution conduct electricity? How do you know?
3. Does changing the amount of water affect conductivity? (Use the “evaporation” slider at the bottom to change water amount).
