Solution
Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
Explanation:
Molar conductivity increases as concentration lowers. This is because the total volume, V, of a solution containing one mole of electrolyte increases. A drop in 'κ' following the dilution of a solution has been discovered to be more than countered by an increase in volume. The limiting molar conductivity of a solution is its molar conductivity at infinite dilution. In other words, when the electrolyte concentration approaches zero, the molar conductivity is said to be limiting.
