General Conclusion: These experiments helped us understand the importance of molecular polarity. This knowledge can now be used for the future to predict‚ for example‚ if two substances will mix or not. We can now do this by knowing that polar substances only mix with other polar substances‚ while non-polar substances only mix with other non-polar substances. This concept can be used to predict if a substance will be soluble in a specific solvent. The concepts of solubility and conductivity of a
