Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are monitoring a reaction using both spectrophotometry and conductometry. The absorbance of the product is found to increase while conductivity remains unchanged. Discuss possible reasons for this observation.
💡 Hint: Consider the chemical nature of both the product and the reactants.
An experiment involves a reaction that produces two different ionic products with distinct conductivity values. If the initial conductivity is measured at 0.5 mS/cm and the reaction generates ions that increase conductivity to 1.5 mS/cm, calculate the total change in conductivity and identify the implications this has on the reaction rate.
💡 Hint: Focus on the relationship between concentrations of ions and conductivity.
