Imagine you have a light bulb and battery conductivity tester. You are given a dilute of copper sulfate and a dilute solution of vinegar, acetic acid. Copper sulfate is an ionic compound. You may recall that acetic acid reacts with water to produce ions in solution according to the equation below: H2O + CH3COOH <--> CH3COO- + H2O+
a.What would be the result if you tested each of these solutions for conductivity?
b.Suppose you added more copper sulfate and acetic acid to the solutions and retested. Would that change the results? Explain your answer.
c.If you continued to add copper sulfate and acetic acid until the solutions held as much solute as possible what would be the result? Explain your answer.
