The conductivity of an electrolytic solution decreases on dilution due to

Question

The conductivity of an electrolytic solution decreases on dilution due to (A) decrease In number of Ions per unit volume (B) increase In Ionic mobility of Ions (C) Increase In percentage Ionisation (D) Increase In number of Ions per unit volume

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Conductivity always decreases with decrease in concentration (i.e. with dilution) of both the strong and weak electrolytes. This is due to the fact that the number of ions that carry current in a volume of solution always decreases with decrease in concentration.

Q. The conductivity of an electrolytic solution decreases on dilution due to

decrease In number of Ions per unit volume

increase In Ionic mobility of Ions

Increase In percentage Ionisation

Increase In number of Ions per unit volume
