conductivity measurement circuit
•
we use the same voltage divider circuit used earlier for the photoresistor circuit
∆𝑉𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑜𝑟 + ∆𝑉10𝑘Ω 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟 = 5 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑡𝑠
•
what happens to the electrical resistance of the
water as it becomes more salty?
it decreases
•
if the resistance of the salt water decreases, then
what happens to the voltage drop across the
conductivity sensor?
it decreases
•
if the voltage drop across the conductivity sensor
decreases, then how does this influence the
voltage drop across the 10kΩ resistor?
it increases
digital output = 5V when HIGH
(set high periodically to measure conductivity)
analog input
•
(measures voltage across 10kΩ resistor)
10 kΩ
so, increasing the salinity of the water causes the
analog input read by the Arduino to (increase or
decrease)?
0 to 1023

what happens when salt is added to water????
•
The ionically bonded NaCl molecules dissociate into Na+ and Cl- ions and become mobile
•
they are surrounded by polar water molecules (they are hydrated)

electrons are really not directly conducting through the water from one electrode to
the other (like when electrons move through a copper wire)

is a spectator ion
oxidation occurs at the

It seems like an Na+ would accept an electron and be reduced . . . why not???

living with the lab
why is H2O reduced and not Na+ ???
reactions further
down in the table are
less likely to occur
•
reactions with positive voltages will
occur spontaneously
•
you must apply external voltage across
the electrodes to make a reaction with a
negative potential occur

living with the lab
the net reaction of conductivity system
the net reaction occurring in the system is . . .
•
we must apply at least 2.19 V to the conductivity circuit to drive the reaction
•
applying 5 V is sufficient, and higher voltages will increase the rate of oxidation &
reduction reactions
