i have done my experiment but have doubts on my results.is there really more electrolytes in orange juice than in sports drink? or is it due to other mixtures in the juice that helps it become a better conducter than the sports drink? :?
sports drinks are heavily advertised with having electrolytes and yet there is my experiment shows there might be more electrolytes in orange juice.

*please answer quickly, my project is due 2 days from now. :!:

Hello and welcome to the forum:

I haven't done this experiment, but I would think the results could go either way depending on the juices used. Could you please post your data? Have you tried different juices and sports drinks as suggested? Have you done enough trials so that your averages are meaningful? Did you carefully clean off your measurement device between tests?

Please let us know this information and we can try to help.
