You now have predicted ionizable groups and measured conductivities for nine compounds. This should be enough data to allow you to correlate conductivities and ionizable groups. Enter approximate conductivities in the white boxes and then click on the orange buttons to confirm your choices.

You now need to compare the two theories to see which makes better predictions of the conductivity of metal ammine solutions. Use the forward arrow to reach that page.

According to Werner, there should be a relationship between the conductivities of metal ammine solutions and the number of loosely held groups. Personally, I don't think conductivities are very reliable evidence. Even so, in the white boxes below, enter the conductivities which seem to correlate with the number of loosely held groups. I think this may point out a problem with Werner's theory.

I am not very enthusiastic about the validity of the conductivity evidence. On the next page, you will be able to compare the ability of the two theories to predict conductivities. I think you will see that neither is able to reliably predict conductivities. Use the forward arrow to reach this page.

Good job. From our experimental data, this looks like a pretty good estimate of the conductivity.

I'm sorry, but this seems too low. You might consult the list of ionizable groups and conductivities to help you choose a better value.
