Question

When water is added to an aqueous solution of an electrolyte, what is the change in specific conductivity of the electrolyte? (A) Conductivity decreases (B) Conductivity increases (C) Conductivity remains same (D) Conductivity does not depend on number of ions

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Conductivity decreases because number of ions per unit volume decreases.
