Abstract

A solution conductivity apparatus is described that can be used to measure the relative conductivity of various solutions. The apparatus can be used as either a hand-held model employing a 10-element LED display or a lecture-hall demonstration model employing a 10-incandescent-lamp array.

    • Is Every Transparent Liquid Water?

      Muhamad Hugerat and Sobhi Basheer
      Journal of Chemical Education2001 78 (8), 1041

      The accepted description for water in schools worldwide is a transparent and colorless liquid. Since students in lower grades (ages 8-13) often see warning signs "Do not drink this liquid--it is not water", we believe that presenting experiments that ...
