Gatorade has the conductivity of 3296 µS, Powerade has 4502 µS, and Vitamin Water is 657 µS. What does this data tell you about the dissolved ions in these solutions?

Answer:

Powerade has the most dissolved ions, followed by Gatorade and lastly vitamin water

Step-by-step explanation:

How conductive a certain solution is, is based on the kind of ions that are present or dissolved in the solution. Hence, we have it that, the higher the concentration of the ions that are present in a solution, the better it will conduct.

There is thus, a direct relationship between what is dissolved or the kind of present ions and how conductive the solution is.

A solution with more dissolved ions is a better conductor of electricity and thus has a conductivity value that is higher

Thus, we can conclude that Powerade has more dissolved ions, Gatorade has less and Vitamin water has the least
