DISCUSSION
How did the shape of the curve change for the titration of strong vs.
weak acid?
The conductivity rose sharply in the strong acid-strong base
solution, while it rose slowly in the weak acid-strong base solution. This
is most likely because the ions in the weak acid solution did not
dissociate as quickly as the strong acid. The conductivity then rises
slower, since the negatively charged ions, such as Cl-, take longer to
dissociate.
CONCLUSION
In this lab, we measured the conductivity of two solutions with different
