Question

1. Why is there a need to correct conductivity of the sample solution?
2. Cite three possible sources of error in the experiment and discuss their effects on the computed ionization constant of the acetic acid. (See details below----- literature value- Ki, acetic acid= 1.75 x 10^-5). 
3. What is the effect of dilution on the fraction of the acetic acid ionized?
