प्रश्न
As temperature increases, the viscosity of liquids decreases considerably. Will this decrease the resistance of an electrolyte as the temperature increases?

उत्तर
Yes, the resistance of the electrolyte will decrease with an increase in temperature. This is because when the temperature of an electrolytic solution increases, its viscosity decreases and mobility of the ions in the solution increases.
