प्रश्न
Why does the conductivity of a solution decrease on dilution of the solution?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Conductivity always decreases with a decrease in concentration (on dilution of the solution) both for weak as much as for strong electrolytes. It is because the number of ions per unit volume that carry the current in a solution decreases on dilution.
