INTRODUCTION
Pure water does not conduct electricity, but anysolvated ionic species would contribute toconduction of electricity.
An ionically conducting solution is called anelectrolyte solution and the compound, which
produces the ions as it dissolves, is called anelectrolyte
A strong electrolyte is a compound that willcompletely dissociate into ions in water.
Correspondingly, a weak electrolyte dissolves only
partially. The conductivity of an electrolytesolution depends on concentration of the ionicspecies and behaves differently for strong andweak electrolytes.

Theory of the Experiment
1). Movement of ions in water can be studied by installing a pair
of electrodes into the liquid and by introducing a potentialdifference between the electrodes. Like metallic conductingmaterials, electrolyte solutions follow Ohmslaw:
R=V/Iwhere R is the resistance (ohms),V is the potential difference
(V, Volts),and I is the current (A, Amperes).2). Conductance G (S,Siemens) is defined as reciprocal of theresistance:
G=1/RConductance of a given liquid sample decreases when thedistance between the electrodes increases and increases whenthe effective area of the electrodes increases. This is shown inthe following relation:
G=KA/Lwhere K is the conductivity (S /m), A is the cross-sectional areaof the electrodes ( e.g. the effective area available for conducting
electrons through the liquid), and l is the distance between theelectrodes .

Basics of the Wheatstone Bridge
The Wheatstonebridge is an electricalbridge circuit used tomeasure resistance.
It consists of a
common source ofelectrical current(such as a battery)and a galvanometer
that connects twoparallel branches,
containing four
resistors, three ofwhich are known.
One parallelbranch contains
one known
resistance andan unknown theother parallel
branch containsresistors of
knownresistances (R1
and R2).
Due to theiroutstandingsensitivity,
Wheatstone bridgecircuits are very
advantageous forthe measurement
of resistance,inductance, and
capacitance.

The Mathematics of Wheat Stone Bridge
The value of an unknown resistance by comparing it with aknown one. Three known and adjustable resistances are
connected with the unknown resistance, a galvanometer/a power supply, and a key, as shown in the previous page,for a condition of balance, so that no current flows throughthe galvanometer. Hence the current through R1 is thesame as the current through R2, and the current throughR3is the same as that through R4. Also, the potential dropacross R1is equal to that across R3.
i1R1= i2R3 ___________________(1)Similarly, the potential drop across R2 is equal to thatacross R4
i1R2= i2R4____________ (2)
Dividing the first equation by the second, one finds therelation
R1/R2=R3/R4__________ (3)Therefore, if three of the resistances are known, the fourthmay be calculated by using the above relation.

PROCEDURE
1. Connect the slide wire form of the bridge as shown onthe next page. Let X be the unknown resistance of the
prepared solution of Copper Sulphate.
2. Measure the resistance of the solution with the bridge. To
obtain a balance, set the sliding key in the center of thebridge wire and adjust the jockey until a
minimum deflection of the galvanometer. When the bridgeis balanced, measure the lengths obtained using the
attached meter scale.
3. Record the values of the standard resistances and of thelengths obtained. Record two more readings by altering the
values of the known resistance

CONCLUSIONS
Based upon the Experiments conducted by us we havecome to the following conclusions-
1. The Resistance of the Copper Sulphate Solutionincreased with increase in the concentration of the
solute.
2. The values of Conductance's kept on decreasing as theconcentration of the solute was increased. This provesthat the value of Conductivity is inversely proportional
to that of Resistance.
C
3. It has been observed that the values of Resistancechange much on the increase of concentration. This
proves that Copper Sulphate is a weak electrolyte.
