Why would someone test electrical conductivity with a solution containing both methanol and water?

because distilled water does not conduct electricity and tap water does and also to see weather methanol conducts electricity.

Does soap carry a charge?
Yes soap solution or any solution can be made to conduct electricity. But, when the solution is made of distilled water then electric conductivity is less compared to ordinary water. The conductivity of a solution depends on the purity of the water as electrical conductivity depends on the availability of positive and negative ions in a solution, and ordinary water contains a lot of salts i.e. NaCl which can split into NA+, Cl- ions, these ions can conduct electricity in water. But in distilled water, depending on the purity of the salts in the solution, electrical conductivity increases or decreases.
What is the electrical conductivity of a glucose solution in water?
I have 5.7 micro siemens
Is methanol part of an aqueous solution?
There can be an aqueous solution with methanol in it. Methanol is a pure substance, so if not mixed with other substances it is a compound.
What is a solution with a low concentration of solute?
A dilute solution.
How do you get a 2.5 N NaOH solution in methanol?
It is same, instead of water take methanol...
What is the change in conductivity as the concentration of the NaCl solution was increased by the addition of NaCl drops?
The electrical conductivity of the solution will be higher if the concentration of NaCl increase.
How do you know explain the electrical conductivity of sodium chloride only as melt and in water solution but not in solid phase?
Sodium chloride in liquid phase and sodium chloride in water solution are electrolytes, containing ions Na+ and Cl-.
The ability of a solution to conduct an electrical current is its?
Conductivity - is measure in inverse amps.
What does electrical conductivity of a substance depend on?
how much free charged ions there are in a solution

How are conductivity and concentration of a salt solution related?
The greater the concentration of salt in an aqueous solution, the higher the electrical conductivity. This is because, with a greater salt concentration, there are more ions available to serve as a path for electron transfer in the solution.
What is a salinometer?
An instrument that uses electrical conductivity to measure the concentration of salt in a solution. Source: Answers.com
What is the electrical conductivity of a glucose solution in water?

What is the physical significance of Nernst-Einstein equation?
The equation relates the electrical conductivity to the diffusivity of its anion and cation constituents. While electrical conductivity is relatively simple to measure, diffusivity is a bit more complicated. Measuring the electrical conductivity of a solution or melt one can study materials properties and interaction.

Is there alternatives to measure the electrical resistance of powder without having to compress them?
I am not 100% sure, but if you add the powder into a aqueous solution contaning electrolytes and compared the conductivity before and after you added the powder into the aqueous solution, it may display a difference in conductivity.
If conductivity solution is frozen will it change the conductivity?
Conductivity of frozen solution will decrease tremendously, as iones will be immobile in frozen solution. However, upon defrost, the conductivity should return to standard value, if salt has not percititated out of solution irreversibly, which is not ususally the case with conductivity standard solutions.
