Question

The reason the conductivity rises after the equivalence point in both analyses in this experiment is that addition of titrant after the equivalence point increases the number of ions in the analyte solution. True or False

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because at the equivalence point, the solution is neutral. The number of positive ions equal the number of negative ions. If more titrant is added, the number of positive ions in the analyte solution is now greater than the number of negative ions. Thus, the solution is no more at its equivalence point and its conductivity therefore increases.
