19.2 Calculating the ATC Slope of Solutions

The conductivity of all solutions changes as the temperature of the solution changes. The ATC
Slope of a solution is the amount that this Conductivity changes per degree Celsius. The ATC Slope
is dependant upon the chemicals dissolved in the solution, the concentration of those chemicals, and
the actual temperature of the solution. Consider the following examples…

•

A 0.02 Molar solution of KCl has a different ATC Slope to a 0.02 Molar solution of NaCl.

•

A 0.02 Molar solution of KCl has a different ATC Slope to a 0.01 Molar solution of the same
salt.

•

A 0.02 Molar solution of KCl at 25

O

C has a different ATC Slope to a 0.02 Molar solution of

KCl at 15

O

C.

To calculate the ATC Slope of a solution…

1. Set the ATC Slope for sample measurements to zero, with the following key sequence…

2. Ensure that the temperature function has been calibrated (see section 7.1). The conductivity

function does not need to be calibrated at this point.

3. Warm or cool the solution to approximately 5

O

C below the temperature at which you expect to

take sample measurements. Record the Conductivity and Temperature readings, once both have
become stable.

4. Warm the solution to approximately 5

O

C above the temperature at which you expect to take

sample measurements. Record the Conductivity and Temperature readings, once both have
become stable.

5. Apply the following formula, where C1 and T1 are the first readings taken, and C2 and T2 are

the second readings taken…

C2
Log C1
T2 - T1

ATC Slope = 100 x 10 - 1

6. Enter the result that is obtained as the ATC Slope of the solution.

Note

To assist in calculating the ATC Slope the following information can be entered into a spreadsheet.
This example has been specifically written for Microsoft® Excel®, although the syntax should be
similar for other spreadsheet software.
