Source: Laboratory of Dr. Dana Lashley - College of William and Mary Demonstration by: Matt Smith When new bonds are formed in the course of a chemical reaction, it requires that the involved species (atoms or molecules) come in very close proximity and collide into one another. The collisions between these species are more frequent and effective the higher the speed at which these molecules are moving. A widely used rule of thumb, which has its roots in the Arrhenius equation1, states that...

We describe a relatively rapid (30 min) and realistic method for simultaneously measurement of leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf) and stomatal conductance (gs) for transpiring excised leaves. The method can be modified to measure the light and dehydration responses of Kleaf and gs.

A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder. Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...

Body temperature can be assessed using various devices and measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Glass-bulb Thermometer: Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...
FAQs
The probe applies a small electrical signal between electrodes, and the measured response reflects how readily the fluid carries current. Dissolved ions contribute to this response, so changes in ionic content can produce corresponding conductivity changes. This makes the reading useful for tracking shifts in water chemistry, including differences associated with salinity or dissolved ions.
Conductivity changes with temperature, meaning two samples with similar ionic conditions can produce different readings if measured at different temperatures. The instrument uses the temperature measurement to adjust conductivity to a standard reference temperature. This standardization allows researchers to compare observations collected across sites, seasons, or sampling periods more consistently.
Paired measurements can indicate changes in water chemistry alongside physical conditions. Conductivity patterns may help identify differences in salinity, dissolved-ion content, mixing, or potential contamination, while temperature provides environmental context for interpreting those patterns. Considering both values helps distinguish a chemical shift from variation associated primarily with changing sample temperature.
A conductivity-only reading lacks the paired temperature information needed to interpret temperature-related variation directly. Adding a temperature sensor allows the instrument to compensate conductivity to a common reference and retain the sample’s physical-temperature record. The combined result supports more reliable comparisons and provides broader context for evaluating water-quality changes.
A measurement begins with placing the conductivity probe and temperature sensor in the fluid being assessed. The probe records the electrical response, while the temperature sensor records the sample condition at measurement time. The instrument then uses that temperature to produce a standardized conductivity value, which can be compared with observations from other locations or dates.
The method applies to freshwater, groundwater, wastewater, and aquatic ecosystems. In these settings, repeated measurements can support water-quality surveys and longer-term monitoring by showing how conductivity and temperature vary among sites or across seasons. The resulting patterns can help investigators examine salinity, dissolved ions, mixing behavior, and possible contamination within the monitored environment.
