Understanding strong acid titrated with weak base graph
I don’t understand why the conductivity doesn’t change after the equivalence point. To my understanding, at the equivalence point there is $\ce{NH3}$, $\ce{NH4+}$ and $\ce{Cl-}$ in the solution. As ...

Why does the conductivity of a LiOH solution decrease when boric acid is added?
If I start with pure water and add $\ce{LiOH}$ the conductivity of solution increases. However, if I then dissolve boric acid in the same solution the conductivity falls. I would have thought adding ...

Can solutions of polar covalent compounds conduct electricity?
I learned in class that solutions of polar covalent compounds are weakly conductive, while ionic solutions are strongly conductive.
But I'm getting different answers online. According to this lecture,...

What kind of unit is this [A*m^2/mol]?
I found a term on this website that gives a unit of [A*m^2/mol]. The equation is:
$k_d^{eff}=\frac{2RT\kappa^{eff}}{F}(t^+-1)\left(1+\frac{\text{d}\ln(f)}{\text{d}\ln(c)}\right)$
where R is the gas ...

Why are ionic compounds bad conductors of electricity in solid state?
I understand the fact that ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity in molten state. But why aren't they good conductors in solid state. Cannot ions vibrate about their mean position and ...
