Conductivity Lab

We did a conductivity lab and tested different substances mixed with water. We had conductivity testers that consisted of batteries, wires, and led lights that showed us whether the substance was reactive or not.  We tested 5 different substances: Sodium bicarbonate, Sodium acetate, Corn syrup, Corn starch, and molasses. Mostly all of them were all 3s which were the highest reactive level, and only one of them was a lower level. (about a 2.5).  Sodium bicarbonate and Sodium acetate were high, because they have a lot of ions in them with the either the sodium, bicarbonate, or acetate. The corn syrup and molasses have higher, thicker sugars, and the sugar molecules must be bigger, making the substance more reactive.
