Illustrative Experiments
Illustrative Experiment
The Conductivity Sensor was used to measure the concentration of ions in the water surrounding a piece of salt-infused agar cube. The concentration of ions in water increased gradually due to diffusion. The rate of diffusion depends on the surface area to volume ratio of the agar cube.
