Electrolyte Challenge
Overview
Objectives The objective of this project was to determine which liquid contains the most electrolytes. Methods Multi meter, 9-volt battery, straw, 24-gauge copper wire, alligator clips, and various liquids. Test and measure current of various liquids five times. Results Several liquids were tested using a multi meter to find the conductance. Repeated trials were performed to ensure the accuracy. Coconut Water was found to contain the highest amount of electrolytes in all five trials. Conclusions Repeated trials performed showed a consistent result. It is concluded that Orange Juice is not the best choice as an electrolyte replenisher. The results show that Coconut Water would be a better choice than Orange Juice.
Summary statement
As tested for conductance, I found that Coconut Water contains the most electrolytes.
Help received
None. I researched and performed the experiments myself.
