@aaronq I think it's A but I'm not sure.

aaronq · Answer

Dissolving larger amounts of sugar will decrease the concentration?

vera_ewing · Answer

Oh wait no. It would be C?

aaronq · Answer

hm you're dissolving more sugar, the concentration is going to increase

vera_ewing · Answer

so D then?

aaronq · Answer

why would the conductivity increase?

vera_ewing · Answer

It wouldn't...so it's B?

aaronq · Answer

right
