  1. Conductivity Demonstration Init 3/1/2011 by Daniel Raymond Barnes

  2. SWBAT . . . . . . explain diffusion . . . explain how salt dissolves in water . . . explain why some materials conduct electricity and others don’t.

  3. an apology At present, this power point is just a bare bones outline. I will flesh it out with pictures and animations when time permits.

  4. Diffusion: use drop of food coloring in beaker to show effect of random molecular motion. This helps explain the dissolving process, which helps explain why salt water conducts electricity.

  5. Covalent vs Metallic bonds: compare & contrast water molecule with chunk of iron. They both involve sharing of electrons, but only in the metal are the shared electrons allowed to wander all over the place, hence, its conductivity. Molecular motion in still air vs. Molecular motion in windy air vs. Molecular motion in still water vs. Molecular motion in water in a current vs. Electron motion in non-conducting metal vs. Electron motion in conducting metal. Balance vs. Bias. Voltage drives electric current.

  6. Testing of samples for conductivity, pt I (solids only): • Screwdriver shaft (This this thing provide energy? No. Just a path for the flow of electron traffic. It’s the road, not the gasoline.) • 2. Screwdriver handle • Aluminum foil • Plastic spoon • Glass beaker • Washcloth • 7. Wooden ruler Routing of electron flow through conductivity apparatus, including *discussion of plastic insulation vs copper wire (protecting humans from electrocution AND protecting house wiring from shorts) *light bulb interlude (button, black donut, collar, W filament) *irony of carbon, a “nonmetal”, being a conductor.

  7. Testing of samples for conductivity, pt II: • 1. Tap water • Distilled water • Salt (cr) • Salt water (salt + distilled water) • Sugar water (sugar + distilled water) • 6. Vinegar • 7. Ammonia (aq) • Oil • 9. HCl

  8. electronegativity 3.5 -2.1 + + 1.4 2.1 unequal sharing of electrons 3.5 - "polar covalent bonds"

Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Na+

  11. Idea of an “electrolyte” as a substance that breaks into ions in water. Comparisson of acetic acid vs. hydrochloric acid: Weak molecules are strong electrolytes/strong acids. Strong molecules are weak electrolytes/weak acids. Show dissociation equations. HCl has single arrow, CH3COOH has double arrow. NaCl(cr)  Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) STRONG electrolyte STRONG electrolyte HCl(g) + H2O(l)  H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq) weak electrolyte CH3COOH(aq) ↔ CH3COO-(aq) + H+(aq)
